Vehic/Purs

According to Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham, 19-year-old Gavin Enright's father reported his son was driving his 1999 GMC Yukon without a license. Deputies reportedly saw the SUV driving slowly without its lights on at Coleridge and North Pointe Parkway around 3 a.m. and tried to pull over Enright, who instead accelerated and lost control when he tried to access eastbound I-94 from 16 Mile. The Yukon rolled multiple times. Enright's passenger, Donald Larrel Smelser-Emerson, died at the scene. Enright pleaded guilty to driving while under the influence of drugs causing death and first-degree fleeing and eluding. He was sentenced to 50 months to 15 years in prison.
