OCEANA COUNTY, MI - It wasn't hard for Oceana County Sheriff's deputies to spot, then chase, a pickup truck that had been reported for "doing doughnuts" on a Lake Michigan beach.

The truck had a big Confederate flag and U.S. flag hanging out the back, according to Sheriff's Lt. Craig Mast.

"The vehicle's quite distinctive," Mast said.

The pursuit began at 9:11 p.m. Thursday, June 16, on Shelby Road just west of the village of Shelby. Deputies had been alerted to be on the lookout for the distinctive truck after a call that it had been driving onto the shoreline sand and "turning doughnuts" at the Stony Lake oval, Mast said.

Rather than pulling over when deputies turned on their flashers, the driver fled, Mast said.

The pursuit proceeded through county and seasonal roads throughout Oceana County, eventually ending in the 1700 block of South 48th Avenue in Benona Township, Mast said.

A 21-year-old Shelby man was arrested. Charges are pending of fleeing and eluding police, a felony, and marijuana possession and driving without insurance, both misdemeanors, Mast said.
