A report of a stolen vehicle resulted in a high speed chase that ended near Shelby early this morning. Scanner traffic indicated the chase began when a witness saw the vehicle being stolen from an area southwest of Prairie Rose State Park. A Shelby County deputy caught up with the maroon, four-door at around 2:25-a.m., but the vehicle didn’t stop.

A chase began near County Road F-58 and Highway 59 and continued west onto southbound M-16 into Shelby. The pursuit made its way through and out of Shelby with speeds reaching 105-miles per hour, and finally ended near the Love’s Truck Stop, at 380th (or, L-34), just south of York Road.

The male suspect was reported to be in custody at around 2:45-a.m. All four tires on the vehicle were flat. No other details are currently available.
