A 40-year-old armless and one legged man, who led authorities on a high speed vehicle chase, has been arrested by police. It was not the first time Michael Francis Wiley eluded police on Tuesday as he was also held for a similar crime in 1998 when he led police on a 120 mph chase.

According to AP reports, the recent incident took place on Tuesday when Wiley sped off in a Ford Explorer when police approached him at a convenience store. The officers later decided to call off the chase after eight minutes because they did not want to put others in danger.

Wiley, who lost both his arms and a leg in an electrical accident when he was 13, was arrested the next day on charges of fleeing from police and habitually driving without a license.

The amputee, who is also awaiting trial on separate drug charges and traffic violations, faces up to five years in prison if convicted. Wiley has spent quite some time in jail after he was arrested in 1996 for kicking a Florida Highway Patrol trooper.

Wiley, whose license has been revoked so many times it is now a felony to drive, is being held in the Pasco County jail on $500,000 bond.
