A pursuit that reached speeds approaching 130 mph winding through Shenandoah County ended with a New Castle, Del., man behind bars on multiple charges.
Marquez D. Adams, 27, was eventually apprehended after the pursuit, which began with Virginia State Police initiating a traffic stop at approximately 7:50 p.m. Sunday.
Adams, driving a 2002 BMW 330CI, was traveling south on Interstate 81 at the 286 mile marker in Shenandoah County when he was pulled over for speeding – the BMW was driving 100 mph in a posted 70 mph zone.
The pursuit continued onto Route 42 in Woodstock, Route 11 in Edinburg and in Mount Jackson, before ending back on I-81. The BMW eventually ran off the left side of the roadway causing it to collide with a State Police patrol car before being contained on the right shoulder on I-81 at the 263 mile marker.

No troopers were injured during the course of the pursuit.
