A Michigan fugitive who led local officers on a chase before crashing and fleeing the scene back in February was recently sentenced in criminal court.

George Forest Brown, 34, entered a please to reckless and endangerment and evading arrest and received a two year sentence in each case to run concurrently. He is to serve the term in the Tennessee Department of Correction but was given jail credit from Feb. 17 to Sept. 9. Charges against him for aggravated burglary and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon were dismissed.

When the incident occurred on Feb. 17, Brown was found in a lake home on Happy Trail Lane off Puckett’s Point Road along with his 10 year-old son. Brown had broken into the residence after discovering the owners were not home. While conducting a door to door search, a deputy and THP trooper spotted a window broken out in the home where they were hiding.

Officers made entry but Brown hemmed himself in a bedroom with his son and refused to come out making verbal threats toward the officers. But he eventually gave himself up without incident and was taken into custody. He had a large knife on him.

Brown was taken by deputies to the emergency room of the hospital to be checked out before being transported to the jail for booking. Brown’s son was taken to the hospital by DeKalb EMS for examination.

Brown was wanted in Hillsdale, Michigan for a pursuit there the previous week in which he fired shots at Michigan officers
