Authorities were involved in a cross-county chase of a stolen car in South Florida Thursday morning that ended with a suspect in custody.
Miami-Dade Police officials said the incident began when the suspect, later identified as 29-year-old Alexander Gesslein, stole a Honda Civic from a co-worker after they got into an argument in the area of Northwest 68th Street and Northwest 18th Avenue around 5:30 a.m.
The victim reported the Civic stolen and Broward Sheriff's Office deputies later spotted it in Hollywood and that's when the pursuit began, officials said.
