One man now faces charges after leading Horry County police on a chase.

A grey Mustang was spotted in a community on Loop Circle along Highway 905.

The driver and the passenger reportedly switched seats before taking off. Spivey, now in the driver seat, reached up to 80-miles-per-hour as the officer followed him.

The passenger eventually jumped out of the moving vehicle and ran into a wooded area. The officer lost sight of them but continued to follow Spivey.

The chase ended when he drove into the yard of a home off Highway 905. Police then searched the car and found 55-grams of marijuana.

Spivey was arrested and charged with possession with intent to distribute and failure to stop for blue lights.

Further details on the passenger have not been released.
