Houston Car Chase: Ends in Parking Garage



A high-speed chase, involving a white van and local police, just took place across the freeways and byways of Houston, Texas. The pursuit, which took place over an hour in two different counties and twenty-five miles, ended in a parking garage in the northern part of the city, where police cars surrounded the van.

However, that was not the end of the chase, as the suspect then ran to the top of the garage, at which point he was stopped at gun point by the local authorities. Still not giving up, the suspect then took toward the edge of the parking structure where he then jumped down, over thirty feet, onto the roof of a nearby building.

This last second attempt of an escape, however, proved to be his last attempt, as police officials soon after were able to pin the suspect down and arrest him. According to local reports, the suspect is a part of an ongoing investigation. No word yet, as to what that investigation is.
