EAGLE PASS, Texas – A traffic stop for a violation turned into an arrest after a driver allegedly refused to pull over and ignored repeated police commands, according to the Eagle Pass Police Department.<\/p>\n
In a media release dated July 30, 2026, Chief of Police Amy Gonzalez said a patrol officer attempted to stop a gray Chevrolet Tahoe on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, in the 600 block of South Bibb Street. <\/p>\n
Police said the officer activated the patrol unit\u2019s emergency red and blue lights and siren, but the driver did not stop and continued southbound for several blocks before turning into a private business in the 200 block of South Bibb Street.<\/p>\n
Police said that as the officer got out of the patrol unit to contact the driver, the driver exited the Tahoe and ignored repeated commands to return to the vehicle. The driver was later identified as 27-year-old Nathan Becerra, police said.<\/p>\n
According to the release, Becerra entered the business while telling the officer that he \u201cwanted his pizza\u201d and continued to disregard lawful commands. Police said Becerra was taken into custody without further incident and transported to the Eagle Pass Police Department for processing.<\/p>\n
Police said Becerra was presented before a magistrate, formally charged with a state jail felony offense of evading arrest or detention with a motor vehicle, and remanded to the Tom Bowles Detention Center in lieu of a $10,000 bond.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll persons charged with a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law,\u201d the release said.<\/p>\n
The Eagle Pass Police Department said it will refer the case to the Maverick County District Attorney\u2019s Office for review and prosecution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EAGLE PASS, Texas – A traffic stop for a violation turned into an arrest after a driver allegedly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":392668,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-392667","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/392667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=392667"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/392667\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/392668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=392667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=392667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=392667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
