Man Livestreams 5 Separate Police Chases He's Involved In On The Same Day

A Livonia man accused of leading police on multiple car chases and live streaming videos has been arrested. Cody Mahon, 30, was charged this week in 16th District Court with three counts of fleeing and eluding police.

The charge is punishable by no more than two years in prison but a judge ordered him held on $100k bond for his next court appearance on May 6th to answer charges that could land him behind bars.

Last Saturday, a Livonia police officer on patrol at about 4:30 p.m. saw an unidentifiable vehicle traveling in the area of Merriman and Schoolcraft roads with no license plate.

The officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop, but the driver, a white male, fled onto eastbound Interstate 96. He pursued the car, but eventually terminated the chase. A short time later, police learned the incident was live-streamed on Facebook and officers developed Cody Mahon as the suspect.

At about 6 p.m., police saw the suspect in the Pontiac G6 traveling west on I-96. Officers attempted to conduct another traffic stop, but the driver fled again, exiting the freeway at Farmington Road and then re-entering eastbound I-96. The pursuit was terminated.

Five hours later, Livonia Police received multiple 911 calls about a reckless driver in the area of Farmington and Schoolcraft roads. Callers reported a red Pontiac G6 was doing “donuts” in the intersection.

Officers arrived and found the suspect and his vehicle. Police tried to conduct a traffic stop, but the driver fled west on I-96.

On Monday, Livonia police located Mahon on foot near the Pontiac G6 in the parking lot of Walmart in Van Buren Township. He was arrested without incident and the vehicle was impounded.

Officials said Mahon may also be connected to similar incidents involving Redford Township and Farmington Hills police.
