The incident started around 10 a.m. when HCSO deputies attempted a traffic stop on a driver who ran a stop sign, but the driver took off, leading to a chase into the Mission Bend subdivision.
Deputies said the suspect ran into his home, located in the 14800 block of Mission Hills Drive and refused to come out despite law enforcement demands.
Around 1 p.m., the suspect’s mother came out of the home and was taken to safety by deputies, according to HCSO. Maj. Earl Dean says the mother attempted to assist negotiators into getting the 30-year-old man to come out of the house, but was unsuccessful.
Just before 4 p.m., our cameras caught the moment the suspect was taken into custody.
Dean says a SWAT team used CS gas which got the suspect to come out of the house. He was then taken into custody, evaluated by EMS, and determined to be in fair condition.
They aren’t sure why the suspect fled from deputies. They are looking into whether he has a previous record.
Right now, he will be charged with felony evading arrest, but other charges are possible.
