SACRAMENTO COUNTY (CBS13) - A suspect was arrested early Tuesday morning after he led police on a high-speed chase in Sacramento County, authorities say.

At around 3:30 a.m., Sacramento County Sheriff's Office deputies tried to pull over a man suspected of driving a stolen vehicle in the area of Howe Avenue and Hurley Way, but he sped off.
