“One of my employees was just driving down Penn Valley Road and witnessed a high speed chase,” Kaitlyn Brown said. “Guy in a Cadillac was going 100 MPH behind him – almost hit him – then hit the curb and blew out his tire and stopped.”
While there were marked Bristol Township patrol cars involved, the department was only assisting the Bucks County Detectives with the incident, Acting Lt. Ralph Johnson said.

Witnesses said law enforcement officials appeared to be searching the ground near the road and left after a short time. It was not clear whether the activity, which was along the chase route, was connected to the arrest.
Representatives from the Bucks County Detectives were immediately available for comment.
