SOUTH BEND, IN – A Michigan man has been sentenced to more than 20 years in prison for his role in a police pursuit crash that killed an Indiana motorist.
According to the Associated Press, 39-year-old James Morrison of Niles was sentenced in an Indiana courtroom on Monday, April 9. He previously pleaded guilty to five felony counts, including resisting law enforcement, during the February 2017 crash.
Police say Morrison had heroin in his system and was driving a stolen SUV at speeds of more than 100 mph as he fled from a pursuing Berrien County sheriff’s deputy, the AP reported.
The pursuit ended in Indiana’s St. Joseph County when the SUV crashed into a pickup truck along Indiana 933, killing its 62-year-old driver, Andre Northern of South Bend.
