A routine traffic stop in Cypress turned into a neighborhood manhunt Monday, after Harris County Precinct 4 deputies say a suspect bolted from a stolen vehicle and disappeared into the area around the 8200 block of Leticia Drive near Symphonic Lane.
Deputies reported that two people were inside the vehicle when they pulled it over. One man was taken into custody at the scene, while a second person ignored commands and ran off on foot. The vehicle was later confirmed to be stolen, and a police perimeter went up as K-9 and drone teams were called in to help track the fleeing suspect.
