POSTED: 9:31 p.m. MDT July 19, 2005

A 15 year old leads police from two counties on a chase down Interstate 10.

It started at 10:45 Tuesday morning when El Paso Sheriff Deputies say the teenager stole a car from Las Cruces Police Headquarters.

They say the kid kept driving down on I-10, eventually entering Texas.

He was stopped at I-10 and milepost 4 by El Paso Sheriff Deputies who deployed stinger spikes to deflate his tires.

The suspect now faces possible charges of evading arrest and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
