Idiot suspect sends officers on high-speed chase... before making ridiculous mistake

The moment an idiotic suspect made a ridiculous mistake ending a high-speed chase through the streets of Louisiana was captured on absurd dashcam footage.

Tyler Pugh, 33, of Baton Rouge, was driving more than 10 miles over the speed limit in his white Chevrolet SUV earlier this month - ultimately leading police officers on a 20-minute chase throughout residential neighborhoods and vacant lots after he refused to pull over for a routine traffic stop.

But the bizarre chase came to an abrupt end when Pugh crashed his vehicle directly into a tree and overturned it.

Dashcam footage captured the high-speed pursuit - which exceeded 100mph at some points - as the suspect wove in and out of traffic on the interstate and narrowly missed striking other cars on the road before taking an exit to a more residential area.

The footage then captured Pugh erratically driving into residents' yards where he then found himself surrounded by responding officers.

In an attempt to get around one of the patrol cars, he hit a tree - ripping off half of his front bumper - as officers are captured exiting their vehicles.

But just a moment later, Pugh hit the gas and accelerated backwards - striking a patrol car in its path - before turning the wheel and crashing into another tree which overturned his vehicle - all while state police fired at least 10 shots in his direction.

The shots hit two of the three people that were in the runaway car - sending Pugh along with another passenger to the hospital for treatment where he was later arrested and booked into prison on outstanding warrants.

The officer involved in the shooting has since been placed on administrative leave.
