SAN ANGELO, Texas — Jimmy Bradford, the 74-year-old man who was reported missing from a Daybreak group home in the 5800 block of Davenport Drive Christmas Eve, was located following a bizarre vehicle chase with the group home’s employee early Christmas morning.
According to a press release from the San Angelo Police Department, a Nixle alert was issued at approximately midnight for Bradford, who went missing from the home at approximately 4 p.m. Christmas Eve.
Also missing from the home was staff member Terrance Harris, 37, along with the company’s van, a 2018 Kia Sedona.
Several hours after the alert was issued, officers found the Kia Sedona traveling on Arden Road. A traffic stop was initiated; but, the vehicle’s driver refused to stop and a lengthy slow-speed pursuit ensued.
During the pursuit, the driver, later identified as Harris, crashed into several private fences and nearly ran over two patrol officers before crashing near the intersection of 19th and Magdalen streets.
Harris was taken into custody without further incident. Bradford was found inside the vehicle uninjured.
Harris was arrested for evading arrest detention with vehicle and criminal mischief. Additional charges may be pending the outcome of the ongoing investigation, the release said.
