CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The end of a multi-agency law-enforcement chase that started in Port Aransas and ended just north of Edroy slowed traffic on Interstate 37 north Monday.
The chase began in Port Aransas after Pct. 4 Constable Chris Stimson's deputies tried pulling over a Honda for speeding.
When officials ran the car's registration, they realized the car was reported stolen in San Antonio and the chase began.
Port Aransas police shadowed the chase in the city, and the Pct. 3 constable's deputy assisted, as well as Pct. 5 deputies, Texas Parks and Wildlife, the San Patricio Sheriff's Office, and Department of Public Safety troopers, which ultimately laid down spike strips in order to stop the car.
The male driver had to be subdued with a stun gun before being arrested on an outstanding warrant and evading officers, said Pct. 3 deputy Justin Lee Martinez. A female driver also was arrested.
Martinez said the chase reached speeds of 105 mph before the Honda was forcibly stopped.
