Man jailed after high speed chase

NAHMA — Deputies arrested a man with several warrants following an over 10-mile chase.

On Friday, Jan. 21, around 4 p.m., Delta County Sheriff’s Office deputies attempted to make a traffic stop on LL Road in Nahma Township. The driver, Brandon Joseph Dickerson, 38, was wanted on several warrants. Dickerson did not stop, and a pursuit ensued.

Deputies first tried to disable the vehicle using Stop Sticks but were unsuccessful. The chase continued down US-2 and then north of Z Road for roughly 10 miles. The vehicle finally stopped, and a female occupant and her five-year-old daughter exited the vehicle. Responders learned that Dickerson jumped out of the vehicle as it was moving at a corner, and the female passenger took over driving.

Officers located Dickers a short time later, hiding in the woods with a Michigan State Police (MSP) K-9 unit with assistance from an MSP drone. Dickerson was taken into custody and transported to the Delta County Jail and lodged on multiple charges.

Criminal charges are also being sought for the female passenger, and her daughter was removed from her custody.

Deputies were assisted by MSP, Alger County Sheriff’s Office, US Forest Service LE and Child Protective Services.

Starting at $2.99/week.
