Three arrested after drivers flee in Manawatū, police say
(File photo) Photo: 123rf A group of dangerous drivers have been arrested after an on-road confrontation with police in Palmerston North overnight, police say. Officers reported seeing a vehicle being driven as part of a convoy on Roberts Line without license plates, about 11.40pm on Friday. The driver failed to stop for police and fled the scene in the vehicle, while the driver of another vehicle tried to block police from following, they said. Both vehicles were spiked nearby in the city, on Tremaine Avenue, a short time later. Officers arrested the two occupants of the vehicle that had no registration plates, after it came to a stop, but said the second vehicle continued to flee. "... due to the manner of driving, a pursuit was not authorised," police said. However the second vehicle was found at about 3am, and the driver arrested. A police spokesperson asked for people to report anti-social driving behaviour with as much information as safely possible. "We need your help preventing and responding to the activity," they said. "And in cases where we cannot immediately respond, [this] allows us to follow up with drivers and take later enforcement action."

Woman accused of firing on repo man; Michigan man accused of threats to president; other top stories Woman accused of firing on repo man; Michigan man accused of threats to president; other top stories Woman accused of firing on repo man; Michigan man accused of threats to president; other top stories A Michigan man was fatally shot Wednesday during a confrontation with Arkansas State Police after a multi-state manhunt. Felipe Millan-Gomez, 33, of Grand Rapids, was wanted in connection with an armed carjacking and kidnapping Monday in Manistee County, Michigan, according to Arkansas and Michigan authorities. During that incident in the village of Okenama, he was accused of threatening a woman with a handgun and forcing her to drive. She was able to jump out of her sport utility vehicle and flagged a passerby while the suspect slid over to the driver's seat and took control of the vehicle. Several hours later, Manistee County deputies found the abandoned stolen vehicle in Benzie County, where they believe an accomplice picked up the suspect. "Law enforcement considered Millan-Gomez armed and dangerous," the Arkansas report said. At about 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Arkansas State Police troopers, along with U.S. Marshals Service officer,s stopped Millan-Gomez on Interstate 40, near the city of Carlisle, Ark. "Millan-Gomez exited his vehicle and brandished a weapon. Troopers fired on the suspect, striking him," the report said. "Millan-Gomez died at the scene." His body was transported to the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory. ASP's Criminal Investigation Division is investigating the shooting and will submit a case file to the Lonoke County Prosecuting Attorney's Office, which will determine if the use of lethal force was consistent with Arkansas law. In the meantime, the Manistee County Sheriff's Office in Michigan says it will continue to investigate the case in hopes of identifying an accomplice. Michigan agencies involved in the case also included the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians, Michigan State Police, Manistee City Police and Manistee Central Dispatch.
