He was arrested after reportedly leading Washington State Patrol troopers on a chase at speeds reaching 115 mph in a vehicle with no license plates.

The pursuit ended after roughly five miles when troopers ordered all four occupants of the vehicle to exit at gunpoint without further incident.

The vehicle's interior reportedly had a strong odor of alcohol and marijuana.
Gomez remains in custody with future court appearances scheduled.
