Law enforcement officials apprehended a man Tuesday afternoon in connection with the theft of a semi-truck that led to a chase involving at least a dozen vehicles in Natrona and Johnson counties.

Check back later today for a video of the pursuit.

The man was taken into custody near an Interstate 25 exit south of Kaycee. The front tires were gone from the vehicle, and other tires on the truck were shredded. Fuel was also leaking from the semi.

The pursuit began in Natrona County on I-25 and proceeded north into Johnson County. The man then turned around into the southbound lane and back into the northbound lane before being apprehended.

The man's name and any charges he may face were not immediately available.
