PENSACOLA, Fla. (CBS12) \u2014 A high-speed chase ended in a backyard crash in Pensacola after deputies spotted a car reported stolen out of Port St. Lucie.<\/p>\n

According to deputies with the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office<\/a>, the pursuit began Thursday when a license plate reader alerted deputies to a stolen white Nissan Versa traveling along Olive Road. When a deputy attempted a traffic stop, the driver refused to pull over, sparking a chase that moved onto Burgess Road.<\/p>\n

Deputies say that they attempted a PIT maneuver, but the driver continued onto Born Drive, which, luckily for them, is a dead-end street.<\/p>\n

The suspect’s vehicle eventually barreled through the backyard of a home, striking a playhouse along the way before coming to a stop before the woodline.<\/p>\n

Both the driver, 29-year-old Michael Andre Peavy Jr., and the passenger, 22-year-old Lilian McDaniel, were taken into custody, per ECSO.<\/p>\n

After the arrest, deputies searched the stolen Nissan and found a loaded handgun \u2014 also stolen out of Port St. Lucie \u2014 and a glass pipe that tested positive for methamphetamine.<\/p>\n

Peavy, who was already a convicted felon, now faces counts of fleeing and eluding, grand theft of a motor vehicle, grand theft of a firearm, two counts of possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, and felony criminal mischief.<\/p>\n

McDaniel also faces felony counts of possession of drug paraphernalia and two counts of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PENSACOLA, Fla.
