A juvenile was taken into custody after a high-speed chase that culminated in a vehicle flipping over in Harris County. According to FOX 26 Houston, the incident began when deputies located a stolen vehicle on the 12200 block of Antoine Drive and engaged in a pursuit with the 12-year-old driver behind the wheel.
