He is accused of entering a dentist’s office in the Albertson’s Shopping Center at Troup and the loop, and grabbing some items. He then fled in what witnesses described as gaudy, red, customized car.
KETK-TV reports he was spotted him on Paluxy Drive, but he refused to stop. A sheriff’s deputy chased him down Paluxy past FM 346 where he lost control of the car. He was arrested in a nearby house. Had he not run he would have only been facing a class B theft charge. Now he is in the Smith County Jail on charges of theft, marijuana possession and 3 counts of evading arrest.
