Posted: Updated:

State troopers Friday night were taken on a short chase by a man who failed to stop after speeding in Manistee County.

Troopers say they were in the Village of Kaleva when the driver refused to stop, starting the pursuit.

Shortly after the pursuit began, troopers say the driver drove into a field off Wiitala Road near Yates Road, and crashed into a State Police cruiser.

Troopers then arrested the 34 year old Kaleva man.

The suspect suffered minor injuries, but no troopers were hurt.

There was minor damage to both vehicles.

The driver received treatment for his injuries at West Shore Medical Center, and was taken to the Manistee County Jail. 

He faces multiple charges.
