Maricopa County Sheriff’s deputies went looking for two men who fled a traffic stop on Wednesday, Sept. 6.

A deputy on patrol observed a vehicle speeding on Fountain Hills Boulevard and pulled the vehicle over near Ironwood Drive. While the deputy was making license plate checks from his own vehicle the suspect vehicle fled north on Fountain Hills Boulevard at a high rate of speed. The vehicle was not immediately located.
