GRIMES COUNTY, Texas (KXXV) — Grimes County officers are investigating a man who evaded arrest on Tuesday night.
According to police, they stopped a man at CR 304 and SH 249 in Plantersville — the man was driving a white SUV after noticing his registration was expired.
After refusing to exit the SUV, the suspect sped off, exceeding 100 miles per hour — this resulted in a multiple agencies high-speed chase where the driver entered Harris County and hit two cars.
One of the cars was occupied by someone at the time.
Later, two state troopers conducted a pit maneuver, allowing them to stop the vehicle successfully — the driver then exited the vehicle and ran on foot, refusing to stop, leading officers to taze the man.
The suspect continued to resist arrest.
The driver was later identified as James Leo Harvey, a Plantersville resident — Harvey was charged with evading arrest detention with a motor vehicle, a third-degree felony.
