A high speed chase Tuesday in Caldwell County led to the arrest of a Fredonia man.

The Caldwell County Sheriff's Office reports that a deputy saw a vehicle illegally pass another vehicle in a no passing zone on Farmersville Road.

The deputy then attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver fled, leading to a pursuit on West Fork Road, reaching speeds in excess of 90 mph.

When the driver, 22-year-old Mathew Daniel Patton finally stopped, he was arrested and charged with numerous traffic offenses.

Patton was taken to the Caldwell County Jail.
