The chase began after investigators were conducting an undercover investigation of a drug buy at an undisclosed location in Kaufman, Texas.
The operation was being headed by the Kaufman County Narcotics Team with help from the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office and the Kaufman Police Department. Once officers attempted to stop the vehicle the suspects accelerated into traffic on Jackson Street and then onto northbound Highway 243. Pat Laney, Public Information Officer with the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office, stated in a press release the “suspects could be seen throwing items out of the passenger window.”
The suspects then circled back to Kaufman where they were apprehended, without injury, near the Kaufman County Court House. Laney said, “Officers were able to recover most of the illegal property thrown out of the vehicle during the chase.” Officers recovered over $720 in cash, digital scales, three cell phones, 15 grams of suspected methamphetamine, small baggies, and several pills believed to be Xanex.
