A man is behind bars after leading Mesquite Police and Dallas County Sheriff's deputies on an hour-long chase that, at times, topped speeds of 100 mph.
The chase began at around 12:15 a.m. near Jim Miller Road and U.S. 175 when Mesquite police tried to stop the man for a simple seatbelt violation.
Mesquite police said at one time the driver drove westbound on U.S. 175 in the eastbound lanes of the highway. The Dallas County Sheriff's Office joined the chase that lasted more than an hour.
During the chase, officers tried to use spike strips as well, but the driver didn't pull over until reaching the Southeast Dallas Police Substation.
No one was injured during the chase. Mesquite police are handling the case.
