Narrative:
On December 7, 2015 at
1404 hours, the MSP Berlin Barrack received a call for a report of an
intoxicated driver in the area of Rt. 50 and Rt. 589. Troopers responded
to the area, located the suspect vehicle and attempted to stop the
vehicle. A high speed pursuit (speed in excess of 100 mph) was initiated
after the suspect vehicle failed to stop. Deputies from the Worcester
County Sheriff's Office assisted in the pursuit by deploying "stop
sticks". The suspect vehicle struck the "stop sticks" and
crashed shortly after (single vehicle collision). The suspect was taken
into custody without further incident and was not injured. There were no
injuries to law enforcement and no damage to police vehicles. The pursuit
continued for 9 miles, and lasted approximately 6 minutes. The suspect
was charged with DUI and related traffic offenses. He was later taken to
the Worcester County District Court Commissioner in Snow Hill, MD.

so he was suspected of being drunk, or high, and they chased him for 9 miles at 100mph?!?
Really?
#1. A Toyota Tercel can not go 100+
#2. If it did, they wouldn't need stop sticks, it would crash on its own.
#3. They stopped making them in '99
