Sunday, Kyle Jitsuwo Ulysses Zercues Matsuoka Termin, 27, of Denver, Co., is accused of driving though Weston at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour around 10 p.m.
Termin fled on Route 19 South at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour when police attempted to stop him.
Termin got on I-79 South at the Roanoke exit and damaged several signs when he crashed in the median. He then continued on I-79 South at speeds of up to 115 miles per hour with no lights.
During the pursuit police confirmed the vehicle had been stolen from the BFS in Weston earlier that day.
