According to the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office, deputies attempted to stop 38-year-old Leland Meece, who was wanted on warrants including felony domestic violence and possession of stolen property.

Deputies canceled the chase after less than half a mile when Meece sped off down South Pennsylvania Avenue and blew through the intersection at 89th Street. He then reportedly crashed into several vehicles, injuring himself, his passenger 29-year-old Callie Dotter and three other people.
