This whole time, the driver seemingly drove under the speed limit. Police say the driver was originally pulled over for improper plates.

While on scene, our team did see some Detroit police cars with damage to the right driver's side door.

"We followed her through the neighborhood for about an hour," D'Andre said. "Just burning the corners, they attempted to stop her and get in front of her, she weaved around."

"It was crazy, first low-speed chase I’ve seen in my life," he continued. "That was a wild scene, it was like Grant Theft Auto Detroit or something."

Witnesses said they thought they saw a baby in the car, but police believe that was not the case.

Wednesday evening, we were told the suspect has been taken into custody.
