Police said Jonathan Callahan got out and ran. A K9 officer tracked him to the backyard of a home and police arrested him. Police questioned two other people in the SUV and released them.

They took Callahan to a hospital to be treated for a dog bite then booked him into the Tulsa County jail on complaints including eluding, aggravated speeding, driving under suspension and resisting arrest..

A check of court records shows Jonathan Callahan has a lengthy criminal history in Atoka, McIntosh, Muskogee and Wagoner counties.
