The vehicular and foot chase spanned central and southeast Macomb County, and it took three police agencies to take 52-year-old Edward Tackett down.<\/p>\n<p>It all started with a Harrison Township resident noticing Tackett drinking from a water hose outside their home. Not long after police were called, Tackett allegedly broke into a nearby house and stole a handgun, eventually fleeing on foot and carjacking a black 2023 Ford Expedition, kicking off a high-speed chase.<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/golfdigest.sports.sndimg.com\/content\/dam\/images\/golfdigest\/fullset\/2023\/1\/Screenshot%202025-10-10%20at%209.29.00%20AM.png.rend.hgtvcom.966.966.suffix\/1760106925276.png\" alt=\"https:\/\/www.golfdigest.com\/content\/dam\/images\/golfdigest\/fullset\/2023\/1\/Screenshot 2025-10-10 at 9.29.00 AM.png\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>Thomas Edward Tackett Macomb County Prosecutor\u2019s Office<\/p>\n<p>After driving west in the eastbound lanes of the Metro Parkway, another attempted carjacking and another break-in in which a resident shot at the intruder, Tackett drove through the St. Clair Shores Golf Club course, where golfers were teeing off.
