A suspect is in custody following a slow-speed pursuit of a pickup truck in Southwest Oklahoma City Tuesday.

According to police, the chase began in the area of Interstate 44 and Southwest 29th Street.

Officers say the suspect was wanted for having stolen property.

About 30 minutes into the chase, one officer threw out a set of stop sticks that took out the pickup truck’s front left tire. A short time later, an officer attempted to throw out a set of stop sticks again but was unsuccessful.
