WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah - A man is in custody after a police chase through West Valley City overnight.
Authorities said the chase started near 3500 S. and 4400 W. where they found a man in a stolen car.
Officers said they saw Jason Hinkson jump into the car and take off.

Officers said they used a PIT maneuver to stop the car, ending chase near 3100 S. and 5600 W.
Police said Hinkson got out of the car and ran.
A police K-9 chased down Hinkson and bit him on the leg.
"During a search of the vehicle we found a large amount of drugs, we believe heroin, a loaded firearm and a vast amount of drug paraphernalia," West Valley City Police Sgt. Sean McCarthy said.
