FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A suspected drunk driver led Fresno County deputies on a wild chase with just three working wheels.

Around 7:30 Wednesday evening, a deputy noticed a wild driver on Highway 99 with a blown-out tire.

When the deputy tried stopping them, the Acura SUV took off before exiting on McKinley.

The chase continued into a west central Fresno neighborhood, where the suspect eventually stopped.

He got out of the SUV but wouldn't surrender to deputies.

After a few minutes, authorities fired bean bag rounds at the suspect but they didn't seem to affect him.

A team of deputies and officers then tackled the suspect before making an arrest.
