BATAVIA TWP. — Sheriff deputies arrested Scott Calloway, 50, and Stephanie Thyng, 30, both of Bronson, in a reportedly stolen truck Friday afternoon after a Flock Safety automated license plate reader alerted Central Dispatch.
Branch County Sheriff deputies received the alert at 1:53 p.m. that a Toyota truck reported stolen in Clinton County passed a camera on West Chicago Street.
Attempts to stop the truck at Michigan Avenue resulted in a high-speed chase west through the city.
Patrol cars followed the truck at over 120 mph along U.S. 12. Calloway allegedly drove into a muddy field south of Garfield Road just west of Nash Road, according to police reports.
Thyng ran from the truck and a deputy chased her down in a nearby woods, according to the probable cause affidavit. Thyng was charged Saturday with resisting arrest, a two-year felony.
Calloway was charged Monday with fleeing officers, possession of the stolen truck, possession of meth and resisting arrest.
A deputy transported Calloway to ProMedica Coldwater Regional Hospital after he complained of injuries before transportation to jail, according to dispatch.
