Update:

A Chippewa Falls man is in jail Monday morning after police say he led them on a high speed chase in Eau Claire.

Officers say it was a routine traffic stop when they tried to pull 21-year-old Richard Roy over on Highway 93 and Golf Road Sunday.

When the car finally pulled over at 93 and Redwood Drive, officers say Roy jumped and ran.
