A man accused of leading officers on an early-morning chase is in custody on Monday, according to Tulsa Police.

Tulsa Police say it started near East 31st Street and South 129th East Avenue at around 2 a.m. on Monday.

According to police, the helicopter was eventually called in because the driver was going too fast.
