A 37-year-old Paw Paw-area man is in the Van Buren County Jail on several charges after leading sheriff’s deputies on a chase early Wednesday morning. A deputy tried to pull Christopher Miller over for suspicion of drunk driving on Red Arrow Highway near County Road 652 in Antwerp Township just after 2 a.m. Miller took off and reached speeds of around 75 miles-an-hour before stopping on 30th Street near 40th Avenue. He then ran into the woods. A Van Buren County K9 tracked him down. Miller admitted to deputies that he had been drinking before getting in the vehicle. He was jailed for multiple warrants along with fleeing and eluding, operating while intoxicated, and having open intoxicants in the vehicle.
