Sky9's Stu Mundel said the chase was bizarre. In addition to the driver's stops and starts, he's sometimes stopped in the middle of intersections.
At other junctures, the suspect was shown throwing objects out the window, including the keys.
There were half a dozen cars following the suspect and after one stop at least a dozen officers got out of their vehicles and had guns drawn on him.
The suspect was ordered out the vehicle, pulled up his shirt to show he didn't have a weapon and was ordered to the ground.
