One man is in custody following a traffic stop that led police on a wild chase Thursday evening.  During a traffic stop, a subject was pulled over and according to police, during the traffic stop, they were allegedly uncooperative, aggressive, and attempted to evade arrest. 

After a struggle and taser developments, you can see on the video that one officer tries to take the keys out of the ignition.  The driver is then seen taking off with the officer inside.  Police say the officer was able to get out and was uninjured during the exchange. Taylorville Police ended up terminating the pursuit due to concern for the safety of officers. 

According to police, Eric C. Handegan was taken into custody, thanks to the work of multiple officers, early Friday morning.   He has been arrested on charges of Aggravated Fleeing and Eluding, Aggravated Assault on a Peace Officer, Resisting Arrest, and Criminal Damage to property. The investigation is still ongoing.
