AIKEN - Aiken County sheriff's deputies and South Carolina Highway Patrol troopers arrested a man who fled after a traffic stop today.

The incident occurred just before 1 p.m. today near Veterans Road in the Wagener area, said Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Scot Edgeworth.

He said that a trooper stopped a man in a 2005 Dodge pickup for speeding at 12:50 p.m. The man was apprehended a little after 5:30 p.m., he said.
