Las Vegas police say a suspect ‘took’ a bus, ran a red light and hit a motorcyclist in west Las Vegas Wednesday night.

Witnesses reported that a group was leaving church, headed to an AA meeting, when Felton took off. He led officers on a high-speed chase, reaching speeds of 80 miles per hour on city streets.

During the 25-mile pursuit, Felton let the passenger out of the van. The chase continued for up to 25 minutes with the van losing a front tire, sending sparks flying.
