The chase started after Wilson was pulled over for a moving violation. During the stop, Wilson sped off. He led police on a dangerous chase, at times driving across lawns and attempting to ram the police vehicles with his own.

The vehicle chase ended when Wilson hit a telephone pole in Elizabethtown. He then ran on foot and was able to hide for time in a boat. He was eventually found with the help of a police dog.

Jarrad Wilson faces charges including attempted murder of a peace officer and aggravated fleeing.
