Man leads police on chase Tuesday morning

A car chase that started at the airport this morning led to one man’s arrest.

Airport officials say around 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, a man realized he was getting a ticket for leaving his vehicle unattended. He then jumped in his car and sped off before the ticket could be issued.

Sheriff’s deputies were called for back up and when they tried to flag the man down on Martin Luther King Blvd., he attempted to run them over.

Deputies chased him to a dead end on Eastwood Road, where he was arrested and slapped with six different charges.
