The pursuit of a man allegedly wielding a gun Saturday led to the closure of a main highway and a standoff before police took the suspect into custody.

A stretch of state Route 167 was shut down as police pursued a man suspected of aiming a gun at people in Kent and Auburn, officials said.

Police received multiple reports in Kent and Auburn about a man in a white Honda pointing a gun.

They chased the vehicle and its 31-year-old driver to the Route 167 northbound on-ramp, where they used a maneuver to roll his vehicle into a ditch.

R 167 was closed in both directions for police activity.
