A Macomb County man arrested after fleeing from Livonia police and trying to hide in a garbage dumpster last month has been charged, officials said.

Al-Qaadir Walik-Rasool, 23, was arraigned on Jan. 24 through 16th District Court in Livonia on multiple charges, including fleeing and eluding police, resisting arrest and five counts of mail theft, officials said in a Facebook post.

A magistrate set the New Haven resident’s bond at $10,000 and scheduled his next court hearing for Feb. 27, according to authorities.

If convicted, he faces up to two years for fleeing police, up to two years for resisting arrest, and up to one year for each count of mail theft.

Walik-Rasool’s attorney, Lesley Knapp, had no comment on the case on Tuesday.

Authorities accuse the defendant of stealing other people’s mail in Livonia during the early morning of Jan. 21 and Jan. 22. Investigators said witnesses told them the suspect was traveling in a black Chevrolet Malibu.

A Livonia detective was canvassing the area near the thefts on Jan. 23, when saw a vehicle matching the description given by witnesses, officials said.

A patrol officer tried to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle, but the driver refused to stop and drove away, police reported.

Police gave chase but as he fled, the suspect driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed. Investigators said he got out of the car and ran.

Officers searched for the suspect, found him hiding in a garbage dumpster and arrested him, they said. Authorities identified the suspect as Walik-Rasool.

Officials searched the suspect’s vehicle and found several pieces of evidence that linked him to the crimes. They also released police body cam footage of the suspect’s arrest.

The case is the latest incident of a person being accused of stealing mail in Metro Detroit.

Last week, a pair of Detroit men accused of stealing $1 million in mailed checks in Shelby Township were charged.

In November, a Florida man was sentenced for stealing rent checks out of mailboxes in four Michigan counties. His co-defendant, another Florida man, was sentenced in September.

In October, three men were arrested for allegedly stealing delivered packages containing cell phones from homes in Troy.
