An arrest was made after a police pursuit unfolded in Horry County last week.
An officer was patrolling in the area of Waccamaw Pines Drive heading toward Highway 501 when they received an alert regarding a stolen vehicle.
The official then attempted to pull the car over but the driver failed to stop and sped off, weaving through Highway 501 traffic.
The chase reached about 96-miles-per-hour before approaching the 3rd Avenue South intersection where the suspect turned on to Ocean Boulevard.
They then sped down the boulevard and turned into a beach access parking area.
The driver exited the car and fled on foot before police captured them a short time later.
They were identified as a 13-year-old boy who was a reported runaway. He now faces charges of failure to stop for blue lights, possession of a stolen vehicle and more.
The teen is being held at the S.C. Department of Juvenile Justice in Columbia.
