Officers deployed “stop sticks” to deflate Johnson’s tires, and police said the vehicle eventually became disabled and stopped in the Onset section of town. They said Johnson exited the vehicle and led officers on a brief foot chase before being taken into custody.

Johnson is charged with various motor vehicle violations as well as resisting arrest. He is scheduled to be arraigned today in Wareham District Court.
