A Nevada man has been detained by authorities in Iowa after leading police on an overnight chase while in possession of drugs and with kids in his vehicle.

KCCI reports that the man was arrested in Dallas County, Iowa after leading police on an overnight police chase through multiple cities in the Hawkeye state.

Shortly thereafter, Boehling was taken into custody.

Boehling is charged with child endangerment, injury, possession of a controlled substance, eluding, possession of drug paraphernalia, and failure to stop at an assured clear distance.
