Man pleads guilty to stealing truck, leading deputies on chase in St. Clair County

A Port Huron Township man pleaded guilty on Monday to multiple charges stemming from a vehicle theft and subsequent police chase in St. Clair County.

David Cutrubes, 35, was charged with receiving and concealing stolen property, fleeing in the third degree, and resisting and obstructing following his arrest.

Sheriff’s deputies received a report about a stolen black Chevy Silverado on May 13 and managed to locate the vehicle around 6:30 p.m. on Dove Road in Port Huron Township. Police say Cutrubes, who had been driving the truck, tried to flee when deputies attempted a traffic stop.

Cutrubes then pulled into an area on 36th Street where he ditched the truck and attempted to flee on foot through a densely-wooded area before officers caught up to him and took him into custody without incident.

He is scheduled to appear at the 72nd District Court at 1:50 p.m. on Aug. 31.
