Troy Police officers process a red Mitsubishi Galant after the driver bailed out of the car and attempted to elude police on foot Saturday morning.
Police arrested a Montgomery man after a car chase down South Brundidge Street Saturday morning.
According to Troy Police Lt. Bryan Weed, police received a call about someone breaking into a vehicle at a business on in the 1100 block of U.S. Highway 231 South. The burglary victim gave police a description of the suspect’s vehicle.
When officers spotted the car turning on to South Brundidge Street, the suspect fled at a high speed with police cars in pursuit.
