A Chicago teenager in a stolen BMW led Shawnee County sheriff's deputies on a chase of more than 25 miles at speeds of up to 125 mph Wednesday morning before fleeing on foot and being caught near Paxico in Wabaunsee County, authorities said.
Albert Ciesla, 15, was arrested and detained in the Shawnee County Youth Center in connection with numerous criminal counts including felony auto theft, said Shawnee County Sheriff Dave Meneley.
Meneley gave this account of the chase:
Deputy Wally Long of the sheriff's department's Criminal Interdiction Unit, driving a marked sheriff's car, tried to stop a black BMW for a traffic violation about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday on Interstate 70 in the downtown Topeka area.
The driver instead sped up to about 125 mph and went west on I-70 into Wabaunsee County, weaving through traffic and often entering the highway shoulder to pass vehicles. The Kansas Highway Patrol and Wabaunsee County Sheriff's deputies joined the chase.
Just west of Paxico, the driver made a U-turn in the grass median, started back east on I-70, left the highway at a county road exit, then quickly got back on I-70 going east in a westbound lane.
The driver allegedly swerved toward Long, who was westbound in the lane, forcing him to enter the median to avoid a collision. The patrol car sustained minor damage.
The fleeing car soon afterward left I-70, went south on a dead-end county road, entered a field and struck a fence before stopping. The driver fled on foot.
A Topeka police helicopter was brought to the area to help search for the driver. Ciesla was found in a brushy ravine about a quarter mile from the car, which officers learned had been reported stolen in Chicago.
Law officers initially thought another person might have been in the car and escaped, but then concluded Ciesla had been the BMW's sole occupant
I remember someone else posting something similar, so sorry if this is a repost. But damn i wanna watch it again.

The kid deserved to get away...It sucks for the owner of the m3 though.
Hehe the part where they trie to convince the viewer that the corvette is better
it is a 2.4l supercharged E30 M3. One of the most desireable M3. The car pumps out a 240 HP and 220 lb/ft torque. And as far as I know, the M3 gave the cop run for its money. Also, the last seen is edited, supposedly where his car dies. So fake even my 10 year old brother pointed it out. The last scene is the same one where the M3 brakes hard and turns in the middle of the road.
