Detroit man charged in break-in, leading Macomb County deputies on chase in stolen truck

(CBS DETROIT) After allegedly breaking into a residence and pursuing Macomb County deputies in a stolen car, a Detroit man is being charged with numerous felonies.

Deputies were called to the 41900 block of Irwin Drive in Harrison Township at approximately 3 a.m. on November 26 in response to a report of a breaking and entering that was taking place. According to reports, the suspect, 45-year-old Joseph Calderon, broke over a fence to get to the property. Calderon had fled the area in a stolen pickup, deputies were informed.

According to officials, Calderon refused to stop when deputies caught up with him. The truck lost a tire as a result of deputies using stop sticks.

The car finally came to a stop in a field, but Calderon kept going. After that, he allegedly fled from deputies before being found hiding beneath a bush by a K9 from the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office.

Along with the stolen car and tools, deputies also found two electric bicycles and batteries. During the pursuit, two deputies were treated at a nearby hospital for minor injuries.

Three counts of unlawful driving away, one count of malicious destruction of property ($1,000–$20,000), one count of breaking and entering/vehicle stolen property ($1,000–$20,000), three counts of larceny ($1,000–$20,000), two counts of assaulting, resisting, and obstructing a police officer causing injury, one count of possessing burglar’s tools, one count of third-degree fleeing a police officer, and one count of operating with a suspended license were among the charges against Calderon at his arraignment.

Calderon is still being held at the Macomb County Jail after being granted a $25,000 bond.
