A Fort Myers man was arrested after allegedly speeding past cops at more than 110 miles per hour in a stolen car before attempting to hide in apartments on Saturday.
Pete Bertolotti, 30, was arrested on Saturday after Lee County deputies saw him driving past them at the McGregor Boulevard and Williams Road intersection.

Deputies say they attempted to stop him but he sped away before trying to hide in a friend's apartment at Lago Del Sol in Harlem Heights.
The car Bertolotti was driving was reportedly stolen from Charlotte County.
