Troopers said James E. Wright Sr., 51, stole the U-Haul that was towing a trailer on Dec. 14 and took off from a traffic stop on Interstate 75 in Butler Twp.
Wright drove through neighborhoods and down back roads. At one point, Wright drove on the wrong side of the road.
Troopers put out tire deflation devices. The U-Haul’s tires spark after Wright runs over the Stop Sticks.
