A convicted felon was arrested after a high-speed chase on I-20, according to police

ATLANTAA convicted felon is facing charges after police say he was caught driving 90 miles per hour on Interstate 20.

Atlanta police said they spotted the reckless driver during a speed stop on I-20 the night of Oct. 18.

Instead of stopping for police, the driver of the black Honda Civic continued to speed and irregularly changed lanes several times, according to officials.

After using the department's aviation unit to track the driver, officers eventually stopped him at a Shell gas station on Hill Street.

The driver, identified as Quentin Jackson, was arrested without incident. Investigators believe Jackson had an illegal firearm on him at the time.

Jackson now faces multiple charges, including speeding, reckless driving, driving too fast for conditions, failure to maintain lane, driving with a suspended license and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
