Teen charged in Sterling Heights fatal crash
The youth was arraigned Monday at 41A District Court in Sterling Heights on four charges:
• Felony murder, punishable by life without parole
• Second-degree murder, a felony punishable by up to life in prison
• Fleeing a police officer, first degree, a 15-year felony
• Second-degree fleeing a police officer, a 10-year felony
Prosecutors allege the teen, a Detroit resident who has not been identified, was speeding late Thursday in a Jeep Grand Cherokee believed to have been stolen from Jim Riehl’s Friendly Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram in Romeo.
At 15 Mile and Van Dyke in Sterling Heights, the Jeep sparked a three-car crash, the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office said.
