A vehicle pulled out of the home that matched a description of a recently stolen vehicle from Kalamazoo Township, officials said. When deputies tried to stop the vehicle, the driver refused to pull over and a chase began.

Officials say the vehicle went off the road and got stuck in the mud in a cornfield. The driver surrendered and was arrested.

A search warrant was issued for the original home following the high-speed chase. Officials say the Kalamazoo SWAT Team and deputies searched the home and found meth, firearms, fake money and equipment to make fake money.

The investigation is ongoing.
