SAN ANTONIO – A 41-year-old man is facing a slew of charges in connection with a chase that lasted more than an hour late Sunday, according to San Antonio police.
The man was arrested sometime around 10 p.m. on Marbach Road, though an approximate address is unknown as of early Monday.
The incident is believed to have begun on the Northeast Side, near Starcrest Drive, after the man fled from a traffic stop with SAPD’s DWI unit.
The man was traveling slowly, and SAPD’s Street Crimes unit got involved near Loop 410 and Vance Jackson Road.
The man “drove around a couple (of) neighborhoods” during the chase, an officer at the arrest scene told KSAT 12.
Officers managed to “spike” the man’s vehicle near Marbach Road, but he continued driving for several minutes, even escaping from being pinned by several SAPD vehicles, police said.
The man later stopped in a parking spot, but would not get out of his vehicle. SAPD said officers broke glass to pull the man out; however, he fought “for several minutes” with officers before he was arrested.
The officer at the arrest scene told KSAT the man “had a history of DWI,” and officers had suspected he may have been intoxicated, but did not confirm it. The officer also pointed to a history of evading and resisting arrest.
The unidentified man is facing charges for aggravated assault on a police officer, evading arrest in a motor vehicle and resisting arrest charges, according to SAPD.
No officers were injured aside from scrapes and broken glass, police said. EMS checked the officers, and none required hospitalization.
KSAT has reached out to SAPD for more information.
