MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A man led a police pursuit in a U-Haul truck on Tuesday, Nov. 26. 

According to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office, detectives had been looking for a 44-year-old man to speak to him about a number of things, including a connection to a recent homicide. 

Just after 9:45 a.m., the sheriff's office says the man was spotted near a home at 8th and Brown. 

The man, according to officials, ended up getting into a U-Haul truck and led deputies on a chase. 

During the pursuit, he side-swiped several vehicles, including a Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) bus -- breaking a mirror. 

The fleeing driver in the U-Haul truck ended up striking a pole near 52nd and Glendale, ending the chase. 

The driver was arrested. 

A passenger, a 43-year-old woman, was also taken into custody. 

The incident remains under investigation.
