UPDATE, 11 p.m.: A man has been arrested following a high speed chase through two counties.
According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, James Inman Jr. was driving 70 miles per hour in a 40 miles per hour construction zone on Alcoa Highway in Knox County. When a sergeant attempted to pull him over, Inman sped up reaching 108 miles per hour. The sergeant says he was driving recklessly and endangered road workers and other vehicles.
He entered Blount County where Inman eventually abandoned his car near Old Topside Road and ran from officers.
THP and the Blount County Sheriff's Office found him six hours later and took him into custody. He faces several charges including felony evading and reckless driving.
