INDIANTOWN, Fla. \u2014 A Palm Beach County man led Martin County deputies on a high-speed chase through Indiantown after driving more than 100 mph on State Road 710, one of the area’s most dangerous roads.<\/p>\n
Deputies spotted 33-year-old Markell Tillman driving aggressively at speeds exceeding 100 mph, forcing other vehicles off the roadway. When deputies attempted to stop him, Tillman fled.<\/p>\n
Tillman weaved through traffic in an attempt to lose deputies before turning onto SW Martin Highway toward Palm City, where he continued to drive recklessly.<\/p>\n
Deputies spotted Tillman again traveling eastbound on Martin Highway near Allapattah Road. Deputies used stop sticks to disable his vehicle near I-95.<\/p>\n
Tillman then bailed out of the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot before deputies caught up with him and took him into custody.<\/p>\n
Tillman was arrested on the following charges:<\/p>\n
