Eventually, Marion County K-9 Deputy Corporal Colton Sullivan ended the chase using stop stick deployments and a PIT maneuver.
When Walker got out of the vehicle and was taken into custody, he told deputies he was "just giving them something to do," deputies said.
Walker was charged with larceny, as well as resisting an officer without violence by fleeing and eluding an LEO with lights and sirens active. He was transported to the Marion County jail.
