Tempe cops nabbed a thrill-seeking speedster who filmed himself flooring a Chevy Corvette at a staggering 140 mph across the Mill Avenue bridge. The guy had been dodging cops for days before they finally nailed him with that nifty grappler gadget.

Neighbors had been blowing up police lines over this clown’s antics—blasting through streets like it’s Fast & Furious, engine roaring like a monster. Cops first tried to pull him over after clocking his death-defying stunt, but the dude blew through reds and vanished. Typical.
Then—boom—next day, the same cherry-red Corvette shows up, hauling tail again. This time, when he bolted, officers unleashed the grappler, that wicked device that clamps onto a tire and shuts the whole show down. No mess, no pileup. Just justice.

Authorities haven’t dropped the guy’s name yet, but he’s facing felony evasion charges, and his prized ride? Locked up as evidence. “This isn’t something we tolerate,” Tempe police said in a video statement posted to social media. “We’re addressing it head-on.”
It’s another flashpoint in Phoenix’s street racing chaos, where locals are fed up with engines screaming at unholy hours and maniacs treating roads like drag strips. Police swear they’re clamping down hard, especially on repeat offenders.
That grappler thing? Pure gold. Cops say it stops chases cold without turning them into demolition derbies. A department rep put it bluntly: “We hear the community loud and clear,” a police spokesperson said. “If you choose to endanger others by driving recklessly, we will find you and stop you.”
