On Wednesday afternoon, a high-speed pursuit along Interstate 10 in West Valley ended in the arrest of the suspect driver by Department of Public Safety Officers.
According to ABC 15 in Phoenix, just after 12:00 P.M., a US Marshall’s Task Force attempted to stop the driver of a white Jeep when they failed to yield. Both the Mesa Police Department and DPS officers joined the pursuit shortly after the incident.
Video footage taken from a helicopter that was following the chase showed as many as a dozen law enforcement vehicles following the high-speed pursuit.
Officers from the involved agencies were eventually able to stop the suspect vehicle near the Verrado Way exit after a series of pit maneuvers.
