The pursuit lasted for 10 miles, with McGee reaching speeds of at least 137 miles per hour. He ran multiple stop lights and stop signs, nearly hitting a pedestrian in Joshua Tree, and even drove toward oncoming traffic.

McGee was transported to the High Desert Medical Center for injuries before being released. He was subsequently arrested for Felony Reckless Evading and Parole violation and booked into the Morongo Basin Jail.
