A Wisconsin man was arrested Tuesday after a vehicle pursuit and short foot chase.

A Hickman County Sheriff's Deputy saw a vehicle traveling north in the wrong lane of traffic and attempted to pull it over, but the driver did not stop. During the pursuit, the vehicle's hood flew up and blocked the windshield, but the driver continued to flee, at times traveling at speeds over 70 mph. Deputies say the driver also ran a couple of other cars off the road before crossing into Carlisle County. 

When the car started smoking, the driver slowed down and jumped out while the car was still running. A deputy chased down the man and took him into custody. 

The driver was identified as William George of Port Edwards, Wisconsin, and a Carlisle County Sheriff's Department canine officer reportedly found a small amount of methamphetamine. 

George was arrested on charges of DUI, speeding, wanton endangerment 1st degree, fleeing or evading 1st degree, fleeing or evading 2nd degree, reckless driving, and possession of methamphetamine.
