What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan.
Here is my take on the alleged crime. I was traveling north on US 131 at 85MPH. An officer was sitting in the median ahead of me and turned on his overhead lights. Directly across from the median was an exit ramp. I saw the lights and was getting off the exit regardless because I needed gasoline. It took 0.7 miles to come to a stop of the end of the off ramp. It wasn't until I came to a stop at the off ramp when the officer was directly behind me with flashing lights only. I signaled and turned onto the overpass and that is when he activated his audible siren. It was that moment when I knew I was being directed to stop. The overpass is 0.5 miles long. I pulled into the first driveway once off the bridge and eventually was arrested.
The prosecutor has offered me a "deal" of attempted fleeing/eluding which is a misdemeanor instead of felony.
I feel like their case is weak but I have never been to a jury trial and do not know the risks I am taking if I do go to trial.
