Agents then tried to stop the vehicle but the driver led them in a small pursuit for several blocks. The pursuit ended just south of 5-mile line and Davis lane where the driver bailed out of the explorer leaving a total of 122 bundles of pot behind, moments later, the alleged smuggler was captured.
