The suspect continued driving into the Third Ward where he bailed out of the vehicle on Blodgett Street.
A police helicopter was able to track him and officers and a K9 were able to catch up with him.
When officers took the suspect down, the K9 ended up biting one of the officers. The officer was ok.
