FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A man was arrested in Hanford with aid from a police K-9 after he led police on a pursuit that topped 100 miles per hour.

Miller was taken to Adventist Health Center in Hanford and treated for his injuries. He was booked into the Kings County Jail for spousal abuse, evading a police officer, resisting arrest and hit and run. His bail is set at $40,000.
