A Kentucky suspect had to pull over and get arrested after leading police on a high-speed chase because he had no gas left in the tank.
Steven Alford, 47, was spotted traveling 143 mph, which is double the speed limit, Saturday afternoon on Bluegrass Parkway.
Authorities chased his bright yellow 2015 Ford Mustang for a while before he deliberately pulled over, after running out of gas.
“The driver pulled over at the Mile Markers after a lengthy pursuit due to running out of gas,” police said.
Alford then refused to leave the vehicle, forcing Nelson County Sheriff’s officers to remove him with the assistance of the Kentucky State Police.
He was charged with several driving offenses including speeding 26 MPH or more over the limit and evading police.
The Sheriff’s Office is encouraging any witnesses who spotted the speeding Ford Mustang to call them at 502-348-3211.
