Several agencies were involved in a high-speed pursuit that stretched across two counties and ultimately ended in a small village in Fayette County Thursday.

Three people allegedly stole a silver Ford F-150 truck in Highland County and refused to stop for police after officers caught up with the trio, according to Fayette County Sheriff deputies.

Hillsboro police attempted to pull over the truck after it was reported stolen, but the driver refused to stop and started driving north on U.S. 62 at high rates of speed.

The truck raced through the community of Leesburg and crossed into Fayettte County where deputies from the Fayette County Sheriff’s office had laid spike strips at Route 62 and Miami Trace Road in an attempt to stop the vehicle.

According to the Hillsboro Police Department, Nicky G. Holton and Donald R. Henson face charges. Additional charges are pending.
