SAN ANTONIO \u2013 The Texas Department of Public Safety released body camera footage showing a San Antonio man leading authorities on a pursuit from San Antonio and ending in Live Oak County.<\/p>\n

DPS troopers assisted with the pursuit, which began in San Antonio and continued south on Interstate 37 through Atascosa County before entering Live Oak County.<\/p>\n

The pursuit ended on U.S. Highway 281 when a DPS trooper used a tactical vehicle intervention to bring the suspect vehicle to a stop, according to DPS.<\/p>\n

In a Facebook post<\/a>, DPS released the body camera footage from a trooper that showed Christopher Lopez, 29, driving a white SUV recklessly, swerving multiple times as authorities pursued him. Multiple law enforcement vehicles are also seen involved in the pursuit. <\/p>\n

At one point during the pursuit, the footage shows Lopez brake-checking the trooper. <\/p>\n

DPS said the pursuit ended when the trooper used the tactical vehicle intervention, forcing Lopez\u2019s vehicle to stop. <\/p>\n

During the maneuver, the footage shows a tire appears to come off a vehicle. However, it\u2019s unclear from which vehicle. <\/p>\n

A female passenger in the vehicle was not injured. She was taken to a hospital as a precaution, DPS said.<\/p>\n

Lopez was arrested at the scene, the footage shows. He faces the following charges, according to DPS:<\/p>\n

Aggravated kidnapping with a deadly weapon<\/p>\n

Evading arrest with a vehicle <\/p>\n

Obstruction and retaliation<\/p>\n
