  A police chase this morning ended in a crash, after which 1 of 2 men suspected of stealing a catalytic converter from a car was arrested, Mobile police said.
Spokeswoman Ashley Rains said Kwasi McMillian, 37, was charged with 2nd-degree theft of property and possession of burglary tools. He was taken to Mobile County Metro Jail after treatment for minor injuries at University of South Alabama Medical Center, Rains said.
The call came in at 10:48 a.m. at the Cracker Barrel on Schillinger Road after the men were reported taking a catalytic converter from a car. Officers arriving spotted the men’s car, and after a brief chase police laid out spike strips on Howells Ferry Road, Rains said.
The car crashed, and both McMillian and the driver ran, Rains said. The driver remained at large Wednesday evening.
Online court records indicate McMillian has a lengthy criminal record dating back to 1993, with charges including theft of property, receiving stolen property, gun charges and bail jumping.
