Fleeing From Police Ends In Arrest
August 7, 2023 – A 21 year-old precinct 4 resident was arrest near the intersection of Tate and Craig street this weekend. The man attempted to outrun police because he thought he had forgotten his drivers license at home.
At around 10:30 PM Saturday night, Sulphur Springs Police attempted to stop Marcelo Flores for a minor traffic violation. Flores did not immediately stop. He accelerated to a high rate of speed then ran a stop sign before stopping for police.
