The suspect, a black male in a white Lincoln Navigator took police eastbound on Kuykendahl Rd towards I-45 the North Fwy. When the officers realized he was not going to stop, they decided to call for a PIT-certified unit.
The suspect then made a u-turn on Greens road and headed northbound on the I-45 service road.
