Prosecutors filed multiple charges Friday against a man accused of leading Tulsa Police on chases on consecutive Tuesdays.

Tulsa Police arrested Clark Gatwood, 33, after a chase on Tuesday, February 9, 2016. They said they tried to pull Gatwood over for driving a stolen car on I-244 near Lewis. Instead, they said he sped off, leading them on a chase down Highway 75 to 61st Street then back north again until they flattened his tires at 30th and North Garrison Place.
