Two law enforcement agencies are searching for a man accused of leading Oakland County Sheriff deputies on a chase Friday afternoon in Lyon Township.

Sebastianelli is also accused of striking two vehicles and leaving the scene at Beck Road and Grand River Road in Novi.

According to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office, Sebastianelli had a felony warrant for fleeing and eluding a police officer out of Lincoln Park.

He was last seen driving a 2008 Black Ford Fusion registered to his wife. His last known address is in Woodhaven.

Anyone with information on his location is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP. There is a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to his arrest.
