Dumfries, Va. –– When getting away from police in a car didn’t work, state troopers said one man tried to escape on foot.
A Virginia State Police trooper at 8:04 a.m. Friday tried to stop a driver on Interstate 95 in Prince William County for having an expired inspection sticker.
But the driver would not stop and then led the trooper on a high-speed chase for about five miles at speeds reaching 100 mph, said Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller.
The driver was behind the wheel of a 2000 Ford Explorer, and decided to exit the highway at milepost 152 in Dumfries.
The chase winded its way onto eastbound Dumfries Road (Va. 234), where the driver jumped from the moving SUV and took off on foot, said Geller.
Troopers caught up with the man and placed him under arrest.
Earl Fisher, 26, of Woodbridge, is charged following the chase, said Geller.
No one was injured in the incident.
