A Westland, Mich., man was arrested Friday for kidnapping and other charges after running from Tennessee Highway Patrol officers.

THP Sgt. Robert Woody was dispatched to Interstate 75 North to watch for a possible kidnapping suspect in a black Cadillac Escalade with a Michigan license plate. The suspect was reported to have a woman and two small children in the vehicle with a firearm. The suspect had previously been in one pursuit from Georgia into Tennessee, according to a report.

While sitting at the 76 mile marker, Woody saw the suspected vehicle traveling 85 miles per hour in a 70 mph zone. When he tried to stop the Cadillac, a pursuit ensued, with the suspect driving as fast as 105 mph. The pursuit continued to the 81 mile marker where Trooper Jamie Satterfield used spikes to slow the vehicle down. A traffic stop was then conducted, Woody wrote in a report.
