Taylor fled the scene and was stopped by Lansing police in the 3100 block of Lawdor Road, before running from the vehicle, police said. He was arrested after a brief foot chase. In court, Taylor gave a home address in that block. The Michigan State University student directory lists a Grant Jacob Taylor living at the same address. h/t lansingstatejournal
