CHARLOTTE — The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department’s helicopter was overhead someone driving erratically through Charlotte Thursday morning.
Chopper 9 Skyzoom first spotted the white SUV in west Charlotte around 10:30 a.m. We captured video of the driver going up onto a sidewalk, swerving onto the opposite side of the road, and making several sudden U-turns.

The car made it into north Charlotte, where it made more U-turns and was speeding past drivers along Graham Street, Tryon Street, and on smaller neighborhood roads.
The car stopped around 10:50 a.m. on Rosetree Court in the Hidden Valley neighborhood near Tom Hunter Park. It was quickly surrounded by CMPD patrol cars.
Just before 11:15 a.m.. Chopper 9 Skyzoom recorded video of CMPD officers pulling someone out of another white car and taking them into custody.
It’s not clear why police were monitoring the driver. Channel 9 is reaching out to CMPD for more details.
