GRIMES COUNTY, Texas (KXXV) — Grimes County officers are investigating a man who evaded arrest on Tuesday, October 29.

According to police, they stopped a man at CR 304 and SH 249 in Plantersville. The man was driving a white SUV after realizing his registration had expired. After refusing to exit the SUV, the suspect sped away, exceeding 100 MPH. This resulted in a multi-agency high-speed chase in which the driver entered Harris County and crashed into two cars.

At that time, one of the cars was occupied by someone.

Two State Troopers then performed a pit maneuver, allowing them to successfully stop the vehicle. The driver then exited the vehicle and ran on foot, refusing to stop; This led to officers knocking the man unconscious.

The suspect continued to resist arrest.

The driver was later identified as Plantersville resident James Leo Harvey. Harvey was charged with escaping custody with a motor vehicle, a third-degree felony.
