Little Smart Car Leads Cops On Highway Chase Through Phoenix
Cops chased a small silver Smart Fortwo microcompact car through the Phoenix area on Interstate 10 Wednesday morning as a news helicopter recorded the pursuit.
As reported by Fox 10, officers responded to reports of a man screaming in a Gilbert, Ariz., Walmart parking lot, and that he would not speak to them and suddendly sped off.
Cops followed him in an attempt to pull him over, however he wouldn't comply and ran through multiple red lights as he continued on.
Several Arizona Department of Public Safety patrol cars joined the pursuit, which never reached high speeds as the Smart Fortwo has a top speed of approximately 90 mph.
Police initially allowed the car to continue on its way, but eventually intercepted it and used a spike strip to slow it down, but had to do a pit maneuver to bring it to a stop.
AZFamily.com reported that the driver, Binh Thien Nguyen, was taken into custody and charged with unlawful flight DUI, possession of drug paraphernalia, unlawful flight and criminal damage.
