Tampa Police Officer G. Bricha saw a red Ford F150 pickup truck with a Mississippi tag. The officer ran the tag and discovered it was stolen. The officer stopped the pickup and two passengers, Lebaron Woods, 21 and Landrick Edwards, 23, fled on foot.
Officers were able to catch them and take them into custody. Both face trespassing charges.
Police say Brinson drove off and Officer Bricha initiated a pursuit. Brinson drove south on I-275 at speeds reaching 100 miles an hour. He eventually exited the interstate at 15th Avenue South in St. Petersburg.

Brinson now faces charges of grand theft auto, aggravated fleeing to elude and resisting arrest without violence.
