Yesterday evening a man with a handgun entered Specialized Staffing on 28th Street and stole an employee's purse and car and left the scene in the employee's red Mazda.  The suspect, fled the scene and was pursued by police downtown where officers attempted to disable the vehicle on Fulton Street near the Van Andel Arena.

Here is some video of the brief standoff and police chase taken by Colton Beveridge, a construction worker at the arena: (NSFW Language)

The suspect was able to elude police until he eventually crashed the vehicle near the John Ball Zoo.  The suspect was arrested and believed to be the same man who was involved in a shooting Thursday morning.
