The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office said one of the Dodge Chargers pulled over, the other two Dodge Chargers fled, leading Warren police officers on a high-speed chase.

Hudson and two passengers from the Dodge Charger were also seriously injured during the crash. The third Dodge Charger fled. The investigation is still ongoing.
Charges against Hudson include second-degree murder, fleeing a police officer and reckless driving.
Hudson was arraigned in Warren 37th District Court where Judge Michael Chupa set bond at $1 million cash/surety only, and if released he must wear a steel cuff GPS tether.
