Rusk County Suspect Acquitted

HENDERSON — A Rusk County jury has acquitted 26-year-old Jason Tremaine Horton of evading arrest with a vehicle. According to the Rusk County District Attorney’s Office, two Henderson police officers arrested Horton March 31 following a brief chase that ensued after one officer saw Horton make a turn without using his turn indicator. Prosecutor Richard Kennedy said, “While we understand the jury’s verdict, we respectfully disagree with it. Our office will continue to prosecute persons who fail to stop when police officers ask them to do so.”
