"On Wednesday afternoon, around 1:30 p.m., we received a call from the Charleston County office...we were told a car had crossed over county lines into our county, Colleton County," a police spokesperson told E! News. "The car was speeding and passed over double yellow lines. We were able to find the car that matched the description and the chase ensued."

Lloyd was going "well over 100 miles per hour" and driving erratically, the spokesperson said.

"We initiated blue lights and the car continued onward," he continued. "The car drove through the woods and wrecked out after having crashed through a small fence and a number of trees. He was apprehended at that time, about 2 p.m. The chase had been going on for about 20 minutes before his arrest."

"He resisted arrest and once handcuffed, we had trouble getting information out of him," he said. "He told police his name was Jake Broadbent. He was quiet and didn't say a lot. He was alone."

Lloyd did not appear to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol and no field sobriety test was conducted," the spokesperson added.

Police told The Press & Standard newspaper that Lloyd sustained a cut during the crash and was treated by emergency workers before his arrest. In his mug shot, seen in jail records, he has a small, bloody cut on the top part of one of his cheeks and a buzzed haircut.
