The vehicle appeared to be a newer model Toyota Camry. After fleeing at high speeds, going through traffic in the wrong direction at times, the suspect parked the vehicle near a wash and fled on foot.

Authorities said it appeared the man had handed off his red hat to someone underneath a bridge near the wash. The suspect ordered the man to walk away with the hat, authorities said.

But the suspect was later found and taken into custody.
