LANSING, MI — A Lansing man is behind bars after police say he drove drunk, brandished a gun and led officers on a chase.

Lansing police Capt. Daryl Green said officers were dispatched to the area of

about 3:40 a.m. on a report of a drunk man seen outside of his vehicle waving a handgun.

Police located the suspect at Turner and North streets and attempted to stop him, but the man fled, Green said. Officers engaged in a vehicle pursuit, which ended when the suspect crashed into a housing development in the 3100 block of Turner Street. Only a fence and other landscaping barriers were damage, Green said.

The suspect left his vehicle and fled on foot. Green said officers apprehended him promptly.

The 28-year-old Lansing man was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving and fleeing/eluding police. He is expected to be arraigned in Lansing District Court on Thursday afternoon, Green said.

Police were still searching for the gun by Thursday morning.
