In a written statement Thursday night the sheriff's office said the pursuit occurred on Tuesday, March 25, at about 10:40 p.m.

The subject deviated from his lane and changed lanes multiple times without using a turn signal, and did not stop for the deputy, leading to a high speed pursuit of less than three miles before the deputy terminated the pursuit. Deputies exercise restraint if conditions could possibly put the public in danger. The high traffic volume necessitated terminating the pursuit.\"
