The chase started after midnight as a traffic stop because Montgomery didn’t have his car’s headlights on. He initially pulled over before he took off with the deputy following behind him.
You can also see the driver swerve in and out of the two lanes and around other cars in the dash camera video. The deputy also spotted him throwing an object out of the car.

“Get out of the car. Hands up. Go on your stomach. Go on your (beep) stomach now.”
“I didn’t want to (inaudible)...”
“Did you not see my lights? You know how many people you put in (beep) danger?”
Montgomery faces driving under the influence, reckless driving, drug possession and other charges.
