MARQUETTE COUNTY – A wanted Marquette County fugitive has been found after a high-speed chase yesterday morning. According to a Wednesday press release from the Marquette County Sheriff’s Department, officers found Chenoa Phillips driving through the former K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base around 8:00 a.m. When officers attempted a traffic stop, Phillips fled. She led officers on a pursuit at speeds upward of 99 miles per hour through Forsyth, West Branch, and Sands townships. Officers deployed stop sticks and were able to bring her vehicle to a halt at M-553 and Taylor Road in Sands Township. No injuries were reported. Phillips has been on the run since Oct. 26 when she removed a tether and fled from the treatment facility. Phillips is originally from Hurley.
