FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (WTVD) -- A vehicle pursuit Saturday night ended in a crash and now the driver is in custody.
Ronald Negale Knighten II was arrested Tuesday and is facing charges related to the incident.
According to the North Carolina State Highway Patrol (NCSHP), a trooper tried to stop a vehicle on NC Highway 87 Between Eastern Boulevard in Fayetteville and Owen Drive and the driver refused to pull over. A chase ensued with speeds reaching up to 116 miles per hour, NCSHP says.
Knighten drove into the yard of a home and hit a tree line on Gumberry Court, where he jumped out and ran and the trooper ran after them. There was a scuffle that left the trooper injured, and the suspect continued to run away from law enforcement.
During the altercation, Knighten is accused of attempting to "stab" Trooper R.C. Butler. Trooper Butler was taken to Cape Fear Valley Hospital for treatment and released.
Troopers detained the five passengers inside the car. They were later released.
The car's owner was charged after authorities say they found marijuana inside.
Knighten is facing charges for fleeing to elude arrest, assault on a government official, aggressive driving, no operator's license, speeding and several other offenses.
His bond was set at $125,000.
