SCHOOLCRAFT TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Michigan State Police (MSP) released new video Tuesday depicting the arrest of the St. Joseph County sheriff in the wake of an OWI crash.
Mark Lillywhite was taken into custody Feb. 26 in Schoolcraft Township after an early-morning crash on US-131 near West YZ Avenue, reports say. The incident resulted in minor injuries.
Witnesses said Lillywhite’s headlights were not activated before his car rear-ended a Nissan Rogue.
Lillywhite has since pleaded guilty to operating a vehicle while intoxicated and carrying a firearm while under the influence.
