High speed chase ends in arrests

A police pursuit through Polk and Story counties got up to 100 mph yesterday. Ankeny police started out pursuing the car driven by 41-year old Mike Lee Jackson of Des Moines just before 10 a.m. State Patrol troopers joined the pursuit. Jackson drove around spike strips - the first police attempt to stop the vehicle. Then a trooper on US Highway 65 used his vehicle to force Jackson to stop. Jackson was charged with third-offense OWI, felony eluding, two counts of assault on a police officer and driving with a suspended license. The passenger was intoxicated and charged with having an open alcohol container.
