LEON COUNTY, Fla. (WTXL) - A man has been arrested after he led deputies on a chase in two different cars over the weekend.
On Saturday, Feb. 9 around 9 p.m., the Leon County Sheriff's Office attempted a traffic stop in the area of Capital Circle NW and W. Tharpe Street on a Dodge Charger driven by Cedric Groover.
However, Groover refused to stop and drove off, leading deputies on a chase through the city.

He was charged with the following:
- Violation of Probation (drug sales x4)
