One suspect in custody after high-speed chase in NE Oklahoma City

UPDATE @ 4:30 P.M.

Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office stated that its warrants team was attempting to arrest 35-year-old Charles Coulter on a warrant for Domestic Assault and Battery/Strangulation when he took off in his car near I-35 and Hefner Road. The pursuit lasted approximately seven minutes before Coulter crashed.

Coulter struggled with the deputies during the arrest and kicked out a window on one of the patrol vehicles.

No one was injured during the crash.
