Investigators said the chase ended when the van hit a fence at a home near West South Street and South Lee Avenue. After the crash, deputies said 26-year-old Akie Horace Milton Black bailed out of the van and was arrested. No one else was found in the van. Deputies said it is not clear whether there was ever a kidnapping victim.

Deputies said Black faces charges of leaving the scene of a crash with property damage, reckless driving and resisting an officer without violence, and fleeing and eluding.
