-

A man was arrested after leading police on a slow two-hour chase from Fort Worth to Arlington mostly along Interstate 30 that ended in a crash.

According to a press release, police stopped a car Wednesday as part of a narcotics investigat­ion.

A Fort Worth police spokesman said the female driver got out and complied with police.

The spokesman says the suspect, who was a passenger, then drove off.

An armored SWAT vehicle joined the pursuit and pushed the suspect’s car, which hit a concrete divider before spinning. The suspect was surrounded by SWAT officers as he tried to climb out of a rear window.

A police news release says that officers seized more than 400 grams of methamphet­amine and that the suspect faces felony charges of evading arrest and possession of more than 400 grams of a controlled substance.
