The vehicle passed an MCSO deputy on Trough Springs Road, and MCSO picked up the pursuit. They deployed spike strips on 41A near the Thirsty Goat restaurant, and the vehicles tires were popped.

The vehicle kept going onto Bagwell Road at about 20 to 40 mph on the rims, Wojnarek said. The deputies forced the vehicle off the road and took the suspect into custody.
