Wanted felon arrested after chase with authorities, running inside Fowler gas station

FOWLER, Calif. (KFSN) -- A man who is a wanted felon has been arrested after leading Parlier police and Fresno County deputies on a chase Tuesday night.

Authorities say it started around 10:15 pm when they were pursuing the man as he was driving over 100 miles per hour.

Fresno County deputies eventually used Pepperball and the suspect surrendered.
