High speed chase ends in Alberton

A high-speed chase took place along Interstate 90 on Friday night, leaving a man behind bars.

The chase began west of Wye when authorities pulled over the driver after he broke several traffic violations, according to a recent report by KPAX. The officer approached the Dodge pickup truck and ordered the driver out of the vehicle when he noticed several open containers.

The driver left the vehicle, but then jumped back in and headed west on the Interstate.

The driver then took the Petty Creek exit near Alberton.

Once on Petty Creek, he drove until he ended up on a dead end. Then he got out on foot and tried to jump over a barbed-wire fence.

Officers tazed him three times before he was taken into custody.
