Two men in custody after late-night high speed chase

Two men are in custody, after a high speed chase through Fresno overnight.

It started around 2:30 when officers tried to pull over a car near Highway 99 and Jensen. That’s when the car took off, reaching speeds of nearly 100 miles an hour. The suspects eventually led authorities near Fig Garden Golf Course, where they got out of the car and ran off. Police caught them a short time later.

"With the assistance of the fixed wing airplane. They directed officers to where the subjects were fleeing to. Officers were able to intercept and arrest the drivers without incident," Sergeant Mike Trenholm, with the CHP, said.

Officials say, alcohol is believed to be involved. Both will be charged with evading arrest.
