TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa Police arrest a man who they say led them on a chase from 31st and Sheridan, all the way past Coweta.
Police say around 5:30 p.m. ont Thursday, Gavin Thorenson was causing a disturbance at the Bounty Lounge near 31st and Sheridan, refusing to show his I-D, refusing to leave, and then saying he was going to get a gun and go out “in a blaze of glory”.
They say he fled the scene in a Toyota Venza as police got there, and led them on a chase down the Broken Arrow Expressway to the Muskogee Turnpike and into a construction zone, where they say the Venza showed poor off-road capability, getting stuck between the road and a bridge embankment.
They say he locked his doors and refused commands from police to exit the vehicle, but they say after using some pepper-ball irritants, they were able to get him out and arrest him.
Jail records show he was booked on complaints of Trespass after Being Forbidden, Obstructing an Officer, Threatening and Act of Violence, and Endangering Others While Attempting to Elude Police.
