Livingston County Sheriff’s Office releases video of stolen car pursuit
By: Livingston, MI - The Livingston County Sheriff’s Office shared a video on social media of a stolen vehicle chase that occurred last Thursday in Fenton.
The video begins on southbound US-23 towards Hartland. The stolen car, a grey sedan, cruises past the White Lake Rd exit.
The sedan exits US-23 at M-59 and passes several stopped cars waiting to turn right.
The driver avoided spike strips just past Argentine Rd; this portion of the chase was not captured on video.
Then, the video shows the driver passing several cars before turning onto Golf Club Rd.
The stolen vehicle then swipes an SUV, damaging the sedan’s bumper.
The driver of the stolen sedan failed to stop at the intersection of Hughes Rd and Golf Club Rd. where it then struck a black pickup truck, flipping it over toward the guardrail.
Once the sedan was stopped, law enforcement told the driver to exit the vehicle at gunpoint. Then, officers began to assist the driver of the pickup truck.
The driver of the stolen sedan was taken into custody and transported to St. Joseph Hospital in Howell for medical examination before being taken to the Livingston County Jail.
He has been identified as Jeremy Nelson, a 42-year-old from Ypsilanti. Nelson was arraigned on June 13th, 2025, on charges of fleeing and eluding police and receiving and concealing a stolen motor vehicle.
He remains jailed on a $100,000 cash surety bond along with a Michigan Department of Corrections Parole Detainer.
The driver of the pickup truck was transported to the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor as a precautionary measure. He reported no significant injuries, according to police.
