SALISBURY — A Gastonia man was arrested after police say he led them on a chase down Interstate 85, off the interstate and then back on before stop sticks put an end to the chase on Wednesday.
Deputies with the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office attempted to stop a rental car for speeding on I-85 when the driver allegedly failed to stop and began to speed up, according to a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office. At some point during the chase, deputies identified the car as being a rental car.
The driver then exited onto Old Concord Road where he made a loop along county roads. The driver returned then returned to the interstate. On I-85, police reportedly continued the chase before eventually deploying stop sticks near the Peeler Road exit, which ended the incident around 4:30 in the morning.
