POST FALLS -- Multiple law enforcement agencies were involved in a high-speed interstate chase before dawn Wednesday that ended only after the suspect ran over two spike strips and his car was immobilized by a police cruiser.

Spokane Police spotted the driver of a 2001 Buick Century driving recklessly and speeding through downtown Spokane near Altamont and Sprague around 4 a.m. but when they attempted to initiate a traffic stop he sped off down the eastbound lanes of I-90 at speeds in excess of 90 miles an hour.

There was little traffic along the highway before dawn so officers laid down spike strips across the roadway near the Barker Street exit. The driver ran over the strips, blowing out his tires, but he continued to flee east across the state line into Idaho.

Officers from Post Falls joined in the chase after the driver crossed the state line and when the man took the Spokane Street exit into Post Falls a police officer executed a PIT maneuver to disable the vehicle and end the chase.

The driver of the vehicle was taken into custody and identified as John Rovik, a repeat offender with an extensive criminal history including an August arrest for auto theft which resulted in jail time which he was released from at the end of October.

Two women were in the car with Rovik but were questioned and released. Rovik was booked into the Kootenai County Jail on charges of Attempting to Elude and Unlawful Imprisonment for not letting his two passengers out of the car. He will have to be extradited back to Washington to face those charges in Spokane County.

At the time of his arrest officers said Rovik was high on drugs, most likely methamphetamine.

It's not known if the car Rovik was driving was stolen.
