He was booked into the local jail at 9:55, Tuesday night and released Wednesday morning after posting an $18,000 bond. The Sheriff suggested is was not hard to locate their suspect as they simply ran the tags of the car that was recovered after the pursuit. The tag information gave deputies the address of the home of the culprit.
