Harrison County deputies arrested a man after a high-speed chase Wednesday, then discovered what they believe to be a mobile meth lab in his pickup truck.

Charges are pending against Steven Coleman, who was booked into the Harrison County Jail.

Sheriff Ronald J. Myers said the incident started around 8:30 p.m. when Coleman, who was allegedly driving with a suspended license, spotted a nearby police officer and fled in his vehicle.

Deputies pursued Coleman, who led authorizes on a chase up and down several county roads and across Jewett, reaching speeds up to 75 mph.

Coleman was apprehended at a home on East High Street in Jewett. A deputy rammed the Ford Ranger that Coleman was driving and immediately him.

"According to my officers there was some hairy moments where they … had to back off of him because they didn't want him to hurt somebody, especially when he was coming down through Jewett," Myers said.

Police said during the chase, a child was injured when a rock flew out of Coleman's vehicle, but police said they believe the child only suffered minor injuries.

After a search of the vehicle, Myers says an apparent mobile meth lab was found in a backpack, which contained several meth-making ingredients like pseudoephedrine.

"What he had last night was enough for at least two, maybe three, units of methamphetamine, so that's a lot of money on street value," Myers said.

Authorities immediately called a hazmat team to decontaminate the area. Officials said while they haven't seen many cases like this, meth labs are becoming more prevalent in Harrison County.

"As first responders at a fire scene, a fight call, a domestic dispute -- if somebody is cooking meth in their house, it's very, very bad because there's an exploding factor and first responders and anyone else can get hurt," Myers said.

He said it's a good feeling knowing the suspect is off the street, but officials said they know their job is far from done.

Myers said Coleman will likely face felony charges. He was expected to be arraigned later on Thursday.
