FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – A man who led multiple police departments on a chase through Broward County on Wednesday is facing multiple charges.

Lenord Henley, 32, faces charges of grant theft auto, driving with a suspended license, aggravated fleeing and eluding and reckless driving. In addition, Henley was arrested on a Broward Sheriff's Office warrant for attempted first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

According to police, a Fort Lauderdale police officer attempted to pull Henley over shortly after 3 p.m. after being alerted that the 2005 white Scion tC he was driving was reported stolen. 

Police said the stolen vehicle was also used in a homicide in Fort Pierce, although the murder suspect is already in custody.

Police followed Henley to the 1700 block of Northwest 8th Avenue, where officers said he stopped briefly to let a woman out of the car.

The woman was taken into custody, questioned and then released.
