Last night's routine traffic monitoring on US 59 by Splendora police escalated into a felony arrest after a vehicle was spotted hurtling at 30 miles per hour over the limit, launching a pursuit that lasted just over a mile and a half before culminating as the driver was apprehended for possessing a controlled substance; this was reported by the Splendora Police Department on their Facebook page.
The erratic speeding at 95 mph in a 65 mph zone initially drew the attention of the officer, and the subsequent refusal to stop amplified the situation as lights and sirens were dismissed, details of the chase illuminate the risks taken before the driver's eventual stop and ensuing confession about the illegal cargo, according to police statements, the individual now faces charges for Possession of Controlled Substance (PCS) PG2, 4g<200g, a grave Felony 2 charge.
Law enforcement officials have issued a reminder through their social media advising the public to observe traffic regulations closely.
