Lowell Police had pulled over 36-year-old Michael Correa for speeding on Jan. 25.
During their interaction, the officer reportedly smelled a strong odor of alcohol.

A chase followed, with Correa reportedly topping speeds of 100 mph while driving the wrong way down I-65 with his lights off.
Once stopped, he was tased and placed into custody, but not before threatening to beat the officers.
Correa, who Lowell Police say has a history of resisting law enforcement, faces six Felonies and two misdemeanors including: battery by means of a deadly weapon and resisting law enforcement- causing bodily injury.
