A Fairbanks man who eluded Alaska State Troopers in a car chase Saturday afternoon was in custody after a brief standoff Sunday afternoon, troopers said.
In an online dispatch, troopers wrote that 34-year-old Daniel Bottomly fled an attempted traffic stop at about 1:30 p.m. Saturday, at times speeding through Fairbanks intersections faster than 90 mph.
Troopers said they stopped the chase for safety reasons, instead monitoring Bottomly's movements by means of a GPS device already tracking him in connection with a pending felony DUI case.
The GPS tracking device showed Bottomly traveling southbound on the Richardson Highway before ceasing all movement near the intersection with Rozak Road. Responding troopers found the GPS monitor, which Bottomly had jettisoned, they said.
At about 3:40 p.m. Sunday, acting on a tip, troopers said they located Bottomly -- said to be in possession of several firearms -- in his vehicle near the intersection of the Richardson Highway and Badger Road.
Responding troopers set up a perimeter and reached Bottomly by phone, while the agency's Northern Special Emergency Response Team, the region's special weapons and tactic unit, was called out.
After about an hour of negotiating, Bottomly surrendered without further incident, troopers said.
He was taken to Fairbanks Correctional Center on a $50,000 arrest warrant.
