In a striking display of reckless behavior, Kyle Ryder, a 38-year-old man, was brought into custody after engaging in a hit-and-run road rage incident yesterday morning in North Harris County. The event was initially observed by deputies in the 13100 block of Kuykendahl Road. Ryder fled from the scene, instigating a high-speed chase that ultimately led to a collision with another vehicle.

As reported by FOX 26 Houston, after Ryder's refusal to obey a deputy's attempt to stop him, the chase ensued and ended in the suspect's detainment. Signs of Ryder's intoxication were evident, prompting Harris County deputies to obtain and execute a blood warrant. Subsequent to the incident, it was discovered that Ryder had already accumulated two previous DWI convictions.

Adding to the gravity of his misconduct, Ryder also attempted to corrupt the legal process by offering money and jewelry to the arresting officer, seeking a pass out of the charges held against him. According to a Facebook post by Harris County Constable Precinct 4, "Kyle Ryder was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Felony Evading. Driving While Intoxicated 3rd Offense and Bribery."

The extent of Ryder's potential penalties and his forthcoming legal proceedings are not currently determined, as his bond and court information remain pending. No further details about the other vehicle involved in the crash have been released, nor has information from the blood warrant been made public.
