Police say they made an arrest in a carjacking that led to a wild pursuit Tuesday evening.
The incident happened Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. when police responded to report of a man following his Mercedes Benz sedan that was stolen during a carjacking at gun point about a week ago. When police attempted to stop the stolen Mercedes Benz, the driver took off at a high rate of speed and refused to stop, according to officials.
At this point, the driver got out of the stolen vehicle and attempted to flee on foot. While attempting to flee, he threw some credit cards and ID into the back of a parked pick-up truck. Police say the victim of the original carjacking was able to positively identify the suspect.
