A wild chase through the metro was all caught on video ending with a drunk driver's arrest.
Police say it all started in the parking lot of a Taco Bell where a woman reported a road rage incident.
As the victim of a road rage incident explained to officers that she had been struck by a pickup, the suspect's vehicle, a black dually truck reappeared in the Taco Bell parking lot.
When the officer ordered the driver to stop, police said 34-year-old Noah Ladeaux stepped on the gas.
As Ladeaux attempted to turn south on Pennsylvania Avenue, his pickup collided with a car head-on.
Driving nearly double the speed limit, Police said Ladeaux continued weaving in and out of traffic.
When Ladeaux got to Northwest 23rd Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, another officer was able to deploy stop sticks, causing Ladeaux’s front tires to blowout.
Shortly after police said Ladeaux’s pickup collided head-on into another vehicle.
Body Cam footage captured the arrest:
Officer: He just hit the sticks and hit another car.
Police said Ladeaux continued to drive, only putting the truck into park after hitting a light pole, while still refusing to exit the pickup.
Officer: Show me your hands! show me your hands now!!!!
Officer: Get out of the car!
Officer: Driver put your hands out of the car door.
Officers then decided to assist Ladeaux out of the vehicle. He's believed to have been extremely intoxicated.
Body Cam: Get out of the car, ouch ouch!!!
Body Cam: Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, shut up! ouch!!!!!, relax, relax!
Ladeaux is currently serving a deferred sentence for DUI. While his driver’s license has an ignition lock restriction, his pickup was not equipped with one.
