A Massachusetts man allegedly caused a police chase through Southern New England on Wednesday.
The chase involving Ian Grant of Dartmouth reportedly started in New Bedford, went through Rhode Island and concluded in Connecticut.
The chase through Rhode Island included Westerly and Charlestown.
State Police in Connecticut were able to nudge the fleeing vehicle on Route 2 enough so that it went out of control.
That's when Rhode Island troopers rushed the car and apprehended the suspect.
Grant was arrested by the RI State Police after a standoff in North Stonington.
He is being held as a fugitive from justice and is accused of setting fire to his house.
