A Culpeper man is facing 13 charges after leading deputies on a chase Sunday night.  The Culpeper Sheriff's Office says a deputy walked up to a parked Chevy pickup truck near Alanthus Road and Route 29 around 11:40 Sunday night.     

As the deputy came close to the truck, the driver, 26-year-old Rodney Leavell, sped away.

Deputies used road spikes to blow out the trucks tires ending the chase.  When Leavell wouldn't leave the truck, he was tasered.     

A passenger wanted to get out of the truck but Leavell wouldn't let her out.     

He's charged with felonies for driving without a license, eluding police, abduction, and 10 other misdemeanors including driving under the influence.  He's being held without bond.
