WYANDOTTE — A motorcyclist who led police officers on a high-speed chase the night of June 25, on northbound Fort Street and eastbound Southfield Road, was subsequently taken into custody and charged with fleeing and eluding, and felony firearm.
Abbas Hammoud, 22, of Dearborn Heights was arraigned June 27 in 27th District Court in front of Judge Elizabeth DiSanto.
The man had a firearm in his waistband, with 17 rounds of ammunition, when he was arrested.
When the motorcyclist tried to elude the police officers by entering a pharmacy parking lot, when he slowed to navigate, the police officer in the passenger seat was able to grab the man and remove him from the motorcycle.
The initial traffic stop attempt was initiated by the lack of a license plate on the motorcycle.
