Calumet County Man Takes Stolen Camaro To 160 MPH Before Being Captured

A 43-year-old Calumet County man is in custody after a series of crimes Monday.
According to Winnebago County officers, Michael Leiterman used reckless driving maneuvers while driving a Subaru, to get a man driving a Camaro to stop his car on
Highway 91.
Once stopped, Leiterman approached the Camaro and carjacked it from the driver.
While an officer was investigating the carjacking, another driver approached the officer to say their car was rear-ended by Leiterman just before the carjacking and that he witnessed Leiterman steal the Camaro from the man.
Shortly after an attempt to locate bulletin was put out for the stolen car, a Berlin police officer was passed by the Camaro driving at a high rate of speed. The officer chased it to an address on E. Huron St., where the driver got out and ran away. With the help of witnesses, police found the man in a nearby office construction trailer.
Police advised the man whose car was stolen to get it checked by a mechanic, because Leiterman told officers he reached speeds of 160 miles per hour while driving it.
