FEDERAL WAY, Wash. (AP) — A stolen van led officers from four agencies on a 20-mile chase early Tuesday from Bellevue to Federal Way with speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour.

Washington State Patrol Sgt. Johnny Alexander says it ended when a trooper performed a PIT maneuver to cause the fleeing van to spin out.

KIRO-TV reports (http://bit.ly/rrps4l) the driver was taken to jail to face charges of possessing a stolen vehicle and eluding police.
