The driver was also suspected of trespassing in the area of Claudell Lane and West Worley Street. The driver refused to stop and led officers on a 15-minute chase through several central Columbia neighborhoods.
A set of road spikes to deflate the car’s tires was set up at Garth Avenue and Worley Street, but the driver stopped just short of the spikes, police said.

The suspect was later arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, possession of less than 35 grams of marijuana, felony resisting arrest, felony driving with a revoked license and multiple traffic infractions. He was booked into the Boone County Jail, where he was being held this morning on $50,000 bond.
