The first was at 1 a.m. on Sunday, when an officer saw a man run a red light at the corner of Huron and Division streets.
The suspect sped to 50 miles per hour on northbound Division Street and crossed the Broadway Bridge. Shortly after, the man stopped his car and fled on foot.
AAPD officers apprehended the man and took him to the Washtenaw County Jail.
A background check found the suspect to have three outstanding warrants.
The second chase began at 4 a.m. Sunday at the corner of Hill and State streets. The suspect is a 14-year-old who took his father's truck.
The caller reported that he successfully extinguished the fire, but said the phone was still smoking and the top of it had melted. DPS officials suspect that the fire was an arson, but no suspects have been apprehended.
A man called DPS yesterday to request assistance in removing his girlfriend from his South Quad Residence Hall room.
Officers who reported to the scene said the caller wanted his girlfriend to leave the room following an animated verbal dispute about a pair of boots.
Officers assisted in escorting the girl from the room.
After the children confessed to stealing the brownies, the officer escorted the children to the cafe and told them to pay for the baked goods.
The officer also spoke to the children's parents, but no further action was taken.
The caller said he left his room with the door unlocked from 8:45 to 9:15 p.m.
Before officers could reach the scene, the student called back and said the theft was a joke to teach him a lesson.
The caller stated that several people had already fallen down the steps.
One victim, who took an extremely hard fall, was "upset" about the wet conditions on the stairs, the caller said.
