A Lexington man was arrested after leading a Nelson County deputy on a high-speed chase.
According to police, 18 year-old Hugo Perez was speeding and passing other cars on the shoulder when an officer attempted to stop him Saturday just after 11:30 p.m. on New Shepherdsville Road.
Police said Perez hit a curb and then got out of the car and ran. He surrendered after a brief chase.
Perez is facing several charges speeding, driving under the influence, wanton endangerment and fleeing or evading police.
He is being held in the Nelson County Correctional Center under a $10,000 cash bond and scheduled to appear in court on October 14.
