(KNZA)--A Texas man was taken into custody Thursday evening following a high-speed vehicle pursuit that spanned two counties.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse said the Sheriff's Office was alerted to a pursuit by the Prairie Band Potawatomi Tribal Police Department around 5:30 that was northbound on U.S. 75 Highway near 206th Road. The vehicle was allegedly speeding over 100 miles an hour.

Jackson County deputies continued the pursuit into Brown County.

Brown County Sheriff's deputies deployed tire deflation devices, which disabled the vehicle and ended the vehicle pursuit. The suspect vehicle went into a ditch west of Fairview on U.S. 36 Highway, where the driver fled on foot.

Morse said law enforcement officers located the suspect, identified as 31-year-old Brendon Dion Stephens, of Sachse, Texas, around 5:50 p.m. and took him into custody.

Stephens was booked into the Jackson County Jail on felony fleeing and eluding charges.
