Kline said the officer attempted to stop the vehicle, but the vehicle did not stop and continued across M-59 and into the gas station. Once the vehicle reached the gas station it accelerated around the building and through the Meijer parking lot.

The office activated his sirens and followed the vehicle, Kline said. The vehicle exited back on to M-59, lost control in the median, but regained control and turned into Cedarbrook Estates. Once in Cedarbrook, the car continued at 50-60 mph through the streets before the driver stopped the car and ran.

Kline said the officer took off after the passenger, who was also attempting to flee the vehicle, and apprehended the 29-year-old.

She was, according to the report, arrested for outstanding warrants and charges of possession of heroin.

Kline said following the chase, the department received a call from a resident who said he saw the driver enter a home on the 300 block of Sycamore in Cedarbrook Estates. Additional officers arrived on the scene and surrounded the home.

An undercover officer made contact with Winslow, who had barricaded himself inside, and was talking to him on a cell phone, the report states. Winslow, according to the report, told police he had a child, pit-bulls and a shotgun inside.

The child was released from the home to police, and shortly after Winslow and a woman, Agnew, came out of the home.

Both were subsequently arrested and taken to Oakland County Jail where they were lodged until their arraignment.

Kline said Winslow later told police that he did not have a shotgun, that he was bluffing. A search of the home following his arrest confirmed his story.
