Media summary: Troy police began chasing Brian Patrick Wiltfang's Eagle Talon about 11:44 p.m. after an officer tried to stop him on eastbound Big Beaver Road for driving without his headlights on. Wiltfang reportedly sped off at speeds of 80 mph. Another officer saw the Talon with the headlights on entering northbound I-75 near Rochester Road. According to police, Wiltfang turned the headlights off just before reaching Adams Road.
