Traffic Stop Leads To Large Cocaine Seizure After Suspect Crashes Into Vehicle

Kalamazoo, MI: On March 6th, 2013, KVET officers from the Community Outreach Problem Solving Division, (C.O.P.S.) attempted to conduct a traffic stop in the 3000 block of S Westnedge on a wanted subject. While attempting to stop the vehicle, the driver fled from officers by driving in reverse through a parking lot at a high rate of speed. While doing so, the driver collided with another unmarked police vehicle that was pulling into the same parking lot. The fleeing suspect then also rammed the cruiser that originally initiated the traffic stop before the driver gave up and was placed under arrest.
