Police said they were called around 6 a.m. about an erratic vehicle. They found a speeding vehicle and tried to pull it over, but said the driver refused to stop and continued to drive erratically, almost crashing into an oncoming vehicle.

With the help of a tire deflation device, officers were able to stop the vehicle, but said the driver refused to leave and had to be removed from the vehicle before he could be arrested.
