OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. – A Southfield man was arrested following a police chase that ended after he crashed into a home in Berkley.

Officers tried to stop an SUV near Edwards and Greenfield on Jan. 19, 2025, at around 1:30 p.m. because they said the driver, a 31-year-old Southfield man, was driving without a license and had multiple outstanding warrants.
