GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — A man is in the Gwinnett County jail after leading police on a high-speed chase Thursday afternoon.
Deputies say 41-year-old James Staples took off when they tried to arrest him at a hotel.
A witness says he saw the chase end with a crash near Oakland Road in Lawrenceville.
"We heard him coming up the road and he was just hauling butt and all the sudden 'boom,' he crashed," said Justin Jones.
A deputy used a maneuver to push Staples' car into some trees.
Authorities say Staples ran, but they quickly caught him.
Staples is being held in the Gwinnett County Jail.
