SAN ANGELO, Texas — A patrol deputy from the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office thought he was done for the day Monday and was driving home at the end of his shift. Then, a vehicle went through an intersection, almost hitting another vehicle and the deputy went back to work.
According to the TGCSO, around 6:49 p.m. Monday, Jan. 22, the deputy was westbound on West Beauregard Avenue when the vehicle, traveling on South Tyler Street unsafely went through the intersection, nearly hitting another vehicle with the deputy directly behind witnessing it.
The deputy tried to conduct a traffic stop and the driver didn't stop.
After a short chase through the surrounding neighborhood, the vehicle stopped near the intersection of Colorado Avenue and South Fillmore Street. The driver, later identified as Isiah Aguilera, 19, of Houston, got out of the vehicle and ran away.
Two women, who were passengers in the vehicle got out and started walking away from the area while Aguilera was being chased. Aguilera jumped several fences and was able to briefly hide. A perimeter was set up and during the search, he tried to run away again, but was caught and arrested with help from the San Angelo Police Department.
Deputies later found both women at a home nearby, where they were identified and interviewed.
Aguilera had an active warrant out of Harris County for robbery, as well as a caution flag for a history of evading law enforcement.
He was booked into the Tom Green County Jail for evading arrest detention with vehicle; evading arrest detention; and the Harris County robbery warrant.
