A routine traffic stop escalated into a chase on June 15, when a driver apparently chose to flee from law enforcement in the 20000 block of Foxwood Forest. Constable Mark Herman's Office stated that the deputy involved, a lieutenant, attempted to pull over the vehicle, but the driver would not comply. This refusal set off a brief pursuit by the constable deputies, who eventually succeeded in stopping the car.

The motorist was later identified as Tramelle Cassaro, and upon his arrest, he was taken into custody and charged with Felony Evading. According to an update provided on the constable's official Facebook page, "Tramelle Cassaro was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Felony Evading." The announcement also specified that his bond was set at $15,000.00 by the 351st District Court.

The short-lived chase did not appear to result in any reported injuries or significant property damage, which can often be a risk associated with such events.

Details regarding the motivation behind Cassaro's attempt to evade the authorities are not outlined in the immediate reports. Further information is expected as the case moves through the legal system. For now, Cassaro remains in custody, and the bond set is to ensure his appearance in court to face the evading charge. The public records and subsequent court hearings will likely offer more clarity on circumstances leading up to an arrest.
