The chase ended when the driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a utility pole. The driver tried to run away from the crash but was quickly taken into custody. An investigation found the vehicle had been stolen from a home in the Beaverdale neighborhood shortly before the chase.
The suspect has been turned over to Polk County Juvenile Detention.
