High-Speed Multi-County Pursuit Culminates in Arrest at College Station
College Station, Texas – A 51-year-old man was apprehended Monday following an inter-county car pursuit that caused a stir across several Texan counties.
The High-Speed Chase
The incident commenced when the Grimes County Sheriff’s Office made a county-wide request for help in locating a stolen Chevrolet Cruze that was seen moving west on Highway 105 East, originating in Montgomery County.
The Navasota Police Department sighted the vehicle as it broached the city limit, and began pursuit, attempting to pull the vehicle over at the crossroads of Highway 6 and Highway 105. However, the driver accelerated onto Highway 6, leading to a high-speed chase.
Participating Navasota police officers and Grimes County deputies recorded speeds of about 100 mph during the pursuit, according to official reports.
Inter-County Response and Final Arrest
The chase extended into Brazos County, drawing in the Department of Public Safety (DPS), College Station Police, and the Brazos County Sheriff’s Office in a combined law enforcement response.
The vehicle was successfully spiked several times, forcing it to decelerate before pulling out at University Drive. The driver carried on westbound down University Drive, until the pursuit finally ended at a standoff at Wellborn Road and Luther Road.
Arrest and Future Proceedings
The individual at the center of the chase, identified as Kevin Jackson from Spring, was eventually apprehended. Charges filed against him include evading in a motor vehicle, manipulation of evidence, and being in possession of a controlled substance. Jackson was also wanted on an outstanding warrant in Montgomery County for a previous charge of resisting arrest.
The multi-county cooperation between law enforcement agencies was instrumental in the eventual apprehension of the suspect. It showcased the synergistic response of Texas’s law enforcement community in curbing crime, ensuring the safety of innocent civilians, and maintaining peace and order.
The Current Situation
Apprehended at the end of the high-speed chase, Kevin Jackson is currently held by the authorities awaiting his day in court. Strict and appropriate legal measures are anticipated following Monday’s display of disregard for law and order. Countless Texan motorists and law enforcement officers can breathe a sigh of relief with the conclusion of this perilous pursuit.
