A man was able to steal a police SUV while he was in custody and lead police on a wild chase through three counties before crashing about 75 miles away in Monroe County. 

The chase began on Interstate 94 in Jackson County, then moved into Washtenaw County. The Tahoe crashed on U.S. 23 in Monroe County, near the Ohio border, after the tires were punctured. 

State police Lt. Kyle Bowman said the driver survived. The vehicle belongs to police in Blackman and Leoni townships, near Jackson. Authorities closed the south lanes of U.S. 23 to investigate the scene.
