Suspect leads Maryland officers on highway chase in stolen 5-ton military vehicle

A man stole a military vehicle from a residential neighborhood in a Maryland town Friday night, and then led officers on a lengthy highway pursuit before finally being captured in Baltimore, authorities said.

The Harford County Sheriff's Office reports that deputies were called to a home in the town of Bel Air a little after 6:30 p.m. local time Friday on a report that a privately-owned 1986 923-A five-ton military vehicle had been stolen.

The truck was then spotted on a Bel Air road, and when the driver, later identified as 38-year-old Michael D. Stevens II, refused to pull over, a multi-agency pursuit ensued, the sheriff's office said, with the suspect making his way south onto Interstate-95.
