Police Blotter: Teens Arrested After Chase

Two teenagers who ran from Grosse Pointe Park police March 19 were arrested in the basement of a Detroit home. A 16-year-old was speeding and drove through a red light at Mack Avenue and Wayburn Street, refusing to stop for officers, and during the pursuit tried to ram police vehicles. Officers used stop sticks to stop the vehicle and the driver and his 17-year-old passenger ran from the car into the basement of a Detroit home, where they were arrested, according to police. A 16-year-old Clinton Township boy was taken to the Wayne County Juvenile Detention Center downtown and 17-year-old Demerius Mario Hollis of Detroit pleaded guilty to four charges at his arraignment, including felonious assault to a police officer, resisting and fleeing and eluding. Hollis is serving a 30-day jail sentence imposed by Park Judge Carl F. Jarboe.
