LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Louisville man was arrested Monday in Grayson County after a high-speed chase according to police.

Rex White, 26, was charged with first-degree wanton endangerment, fleeing and evading and trafficking in controlled substance, among other charges. 

According to a news release, police attempted to stop White's vehicle in Ohio County after he rammed into another vehicle in an apparent road-rage incident. 

Driving a 2012 Hyundai Sonata, White fled the traffic stop and nearly hit a Beaver Dam police officer before Kentucky State Police began pursuing him on US 231 and KY 369. 

Police said White reached speeds of more than 100 miles per hour, crossing a median to drive on the wrong side of the road in an emergency lane. 

White fled on foot after his vehicle ran out of gas but was caught by police.
