A Clare County man is accused of trying to hit a deputy during a chase.
Deputies say they were trying to stop Ronald McClure for a broken brake light in Hayes Township Sunday morning, but he sped off.
They chased him, and eventually put down a stop stick.
Deputies say McClure then swerved to try and hit a deputy, but ended up popping two tires on the stop stick.
He then drove through a church parking lot, back onto the road, down an embankment and hit several trees.
McClure tried to run, but was found hiding under some trees.
He’s now charged with a range of crimes, including assault with a dangerous weapon, resisting police causing injury and driving while intoxicated.
McClure is also charged with child abuse and malicious use of a telephone.
It’s not clear what those crimes are related to.
