Officers Search for Man Who Fled Traffic Stop

KILGORE — Kilgore Police are still searching for a man who led them on a chase through county roads after a routine traffic stop. It started around 11:30 Wednesday night when Kilgore officers pulled over a white male driving a Dodge Dakota truck at the EZ-Mart. Before the officers could get to the vehicle, the driver took off, leading officers down county roads before pulling into the driveway of a home on Farm Road 2276 near County Road 243. At that point, the man got out of his vehicle and ran away on foot. DPS had joined the pursuit along with helicopters. Rusk County deputies also aided in the search but the man was not found.
