TEMPE, Ariz. - A wild police pursuit took Maricopa County Sheriff's Deputies through multiple parts of the Valley and left three adults - one woman and two men - taken into custody.

The incident began near Calle Cerritos and Avenida Del Yaqui when a Sheriff's Deputy noticed a vehicle traveling down the road the wrong way at a high rate of speed.

The driver failed to yield to a traffic stop and the pursuit was on.

According to a police report, a passenger in the back seat of the vehicle pointed a weapon at the Deputy as the car weaved in and out of the streets of Guadalupe before stopping to let a passenger out of the vehicle.
