A Florida man in an 18-wheeler lead police on wild weekend chase through multiple counties.
18-wheeler chase lasts hours, suspect charged in Montgomery CountyDashcam footage shows the moments during an hours-long police chase that went throughout the Houston area. Multiple agencies worked together to stop a suspect driving erratically in an 18-wheeler., covering more than 160 miles of road, according to police. Some of the chase went through the streets of Montrose, where business owners like Abraham Omran, couldn't believe their eyes.
Danny Benjamin witnessed the end of the 18-wheeler chase that went through multiple counties on Saturday afternoon. Benjamin shared with FOX 26 what he saw when the chase came to an end after hours. The pursuit began in Montgomery County and then went through Harris and Fort Bend County. Roman Forest authorities say a 51-year-old man from Florida was arrested and is facing two federal charges.
"In this particular case, the truck was already driving erratically before we even started the pursuit. Whether we were there or not, he was going to continue to drive the was he was doing. So it was up to us to get him stopped as fast as we could, so he wouldn't cause a danger to the public," he said.
He says the decision to continue the chase fell in line with his agency's policies and that no one was seriously injured.
