We're lucky to live in a place as safe as Idaho--our law enforcement keeps us safe and in general, the people that live here really understand how to look out for one another.

As safe of a community as we may be, there's no denying the fact that from time to time, someone has to 'ruin it' for us-- and a recent police chase involving a wanted felon has many online screaming: WTF!

Let's take a look at the action from this Idaho police chase!

Can you believe that driver was able to crawl out of that hole? 

Sometimes it seems unreal that these kinds of things happen in Idaho.

In a release by Idaho State Police, a brief recap of the pursuit was provided:

When the trooper activated emergency lights, the driver failed to stop, fleeing at speeds up to 115 mph. The pursuit stretched across miles of I-84, with the suspect repeatedly endangering other motorists and speeding through a construction zone. The chase escalated as the driver exited onto a closed Port of Entry ramp, ignoring "Road Closed" signs and barriers, before crashing into a large, excavated pit.

Eventually, the chase came to an ugly ending and officers were able to take the suspect into custody who was eventually charged with:

  • Felony fleeing and eluding a peace officer
  • Driving under the influence
  • Resisting and obstructing officers
  • Possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia

The suspect already had two outstanding felony warrants.
