A high speed chase that wove through three counties came to a calm end in Boca Raton early this afternoon when the passenger, a robbery suspect, got out of his car, took a seat in a patio chair in the backyard of a private house and lay on the ground as officers approached to arrest him.
The car's female driver was also arrested and is in custody.
UPDATE | 1:51pm
Miami-Dade Police said they received word of an armed robbery about 12:30 p.m.
The man, who was driving a tan station wagon, led officers on a high-speed chase on Interstate 95, State Road 836 and several smaller roads near Miami International Airport.
At one point, the car was traveling the wrong way down a street, but it appeared that no crashes happened.
The driver ended up crashing into a tree and some bushes in a parking lot off Northwest 25th Street.
The man jumped from the car and tried to run, but was quickly captured by officers.

MIAMI, FL (WSVN) -- Police are chasing two robbery suspects in a white van fleeing at a high rate of speed northbound on the Florida Turnpike, in Southern Broward County.
Twitter users have responded to the incident with a requisite dose of sarcasm.
Why is it that only white cars are on news as outrunning police chase? Never any other color. Hmmmm...I drive a white car. Hmmmm....
Fun police chase on Fox News. Just ended with surrender. Quitters never win.
everyone walking by the TV watching police chase: "Is it OJ?" haha

Good. Wild police chases here usually result in tons of scrap metal.

Just a little part of New York to keep with me. Police car surrounded by the coloured lights of Times Square. And as you can see uncle Sam is pointing you, of course !
