A high-speed, Saturday-night chase along U.S. 1 in Stafford County ended with deputies forcing the car off the road and arresting the driver.
At 7:46 p.m. Stafford deputies responded to Jefferson Davis Highway near Bells Hill Road to assist Virginia State Police with a pursuit of a reckless driver, the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post.
Stafford deputies were able to stop the car safely, the sheriff's office said.
Deputies joined the pursuit as it continued southbound on Jefferson Davis Highway and the suspect sideswiped a deputy’s vehicle, the post said.
During the pursuit the suspect reached speeds over 100 mph.
Deputies were able to utilize the PIT maneuver -- which forces a driver to abruptly turn the car sideways -- and safely end the pursuit near Centreport Parkway, the sheriff's office said.
No deputies were injured and the suspect is in custody.
