Dallas/Fort Worth (WBAP/KLIF) – A dramatic high speed, multi-city chase Monday afternoon lasted for over an hour before coming to an end in Northeast Dallas.
The incident started around 1 p.m. in Kaufman county where sheriff’s deputies attempted to stop a black Mercedes with fake paper tags and the driver wouldn’t stop.
The Texas DPS was among a number of police agencies that joined the chase at speeds of over 100 mph, across I-30 and 635 through Dallas, Plano Garland, Mesquite and Rowlett.
The as yet unidentified driver eventually attempted to get away on foot, running through yards and jumping fences, before a police K-9 officer finally corned the suspect who was found standing atop someone’s car.
A number of drugs – fentanyl, ecstasy and marijuana – were found in the suspect vehicle.
