A man was taken into custody after allegedly leading Metro Police on a chase in a stolen SUV. 

According to an affidavit from Metro Nashville Police, Roy Webster stole the vehicle in Memphis and investigators tracked the car's GPS to a Walmart on Nolensville Pike.

When they got close, Webster allegedly took off and prompted a chase.

Officers said Webster later crashed into another car on Harding Place after reaching speeds of 70 miles per hour. 

From there, he took off on foot – dodging trees and climbing fences as he tried to escape, police said.

Officers finally caught up to him and arrested him on multiple charges.
