New details on Southeast Valley police pursuit released

It's a chase that was shown across the country on Thursday.

On Wednesday, Dustin Perkins is accused of leading police and other agencies on a chase in the Southeast Valley. Before being taken into custody, Perkins and a woman inside the car, since identified by the Pinal County Sheriff's Office as Lovida Flores, shared a hug and a kiss before surrendering.

"I'm sorry everybody," said Perkins Wednesday night. "It was a really stupid thing."

Perkins spoke briefly with FOX 10's Stefania Okolie, as he walked out of Banner Ironwood in handcuffs. Perkins admit the pursuit was, in his words, "pretty stupid".

According to court documents released Thursday, Perkins hit speeds of up to 90 miles per hour. Once the driver got to a business at the end of West Guadalupe Road, court documents say he broke through several of the fences.

"It was, it was real," said John Tackett. "It wasn't on TV. It was the real thing."

The chase unfolded right before Tackett's eyes.

"I was shaking in my boots," said Tackett, who owns the business Perkins is accused of driving the car through.

"I didn't know what he was gonna do when he go in here, and when he busted through the other gate, that answered that," said Tackett.

Perkins said he was trying to get away, because there were warrants out for his arrest. He claims the stolen truck was his father's, and that he was trying to get it back to him, claiming his father is dying of cancer.

Pinal County's sheriff, however, said the car was reported stolen out of Salt River.
