The car was being tracked using the onboard GPS and dispatchers relayed to police that it had stopped at a Speedway gas station in Jackson Township.

When police got there, the man ran from the convenience store and into the woods nearby. A K-9 was brought in to track him on the ground while a state police helicopter was called in to use thermal and night vision technology from the air.

The man was found after a short time and arrested. He is charged with felonious aggravated assault among other charges.

Police have not yet released his identity.
