Suspect in Warren Marijuana Facility Burglary Leads Police on High-Speed Chase, Crashes in DetroitSource: Google Street View

A high-speed police chase originating from Warren culminated dramatically in Detroit last Saturday, when Dijon Tyree, a 29-year-old man suspected of a marijuana facility break-in, lost control of his vehicle and crashed into an unoccupied house. According to CBS News Detroit, the incident began after a burglary was reported at a marijuana distribution facility on Dequindre Avenue, south of 14 Mile Road, with a Chevrolet pickup truck subsequently spotted and pursued by Warren police.

Described by witnesses as yet another in a series of such crashes at the Ewald Circle intersection, the collision represents the community's ongoing encounters with perilous driving; Bettye Madden, a Detroit resident enduring this for over 30 years, lamented to CBS News Detroit, "When you see it five times, you know, you just gotta say, 'Oh, no, not again,'" and Will Jones, another neighbor, stressed a lack of sufficient protection for homes in the area from vehicular threats. With notable concern, Stephanie McKnight recounted the overwhelming police presence and the sight of a 'whole truck in the house,' expressing disbelief and a hint of fear regarding the chase that led up to such a jarring event, as detailed by WXYZ.

The aftermath found Tyree charged with multiple felonies, including the delivery/manufacture of 45 kilograms of marijuana, breaking, and fleeing and eluding, charges that could imbue his future with years of legal entanglement; he was also charged as a habitual fourth offender, and faces further scrutiny from law enforcement agencies investigating several similar burglaries within Metro Detroit, as per ClickOnDetroit. With his plea of not guilty and a $100,000 bond on the table, an ongoing criminal history peeking out from his past, and an arraignment set for April 8.
