Police chase arrest

What we know:

The chase began just after midnight when Grand Prairie police tried to stop 25-year-old Victor Manuel Reyes of Dallas on Interstate 30.

Police said Reyes refused to stop and instead sped away going eastbound on I-30. He allegedly reached speeds in excess of 110 mph and drove erratically as he tried to evade officers.

The chase left Grand Prairie and crossed over into the city of Dallas, where Dallas County Sheriff’s deputies joined in the pursuit.

Reyes got off the interstate and drove through the Bishop Arts neighborhood of Dallas. 

The chase came to an end when he drove down East Neely Street, which is a dead-end street. Police said Reyes tried to turn around, but a Grand Prairie officer rammed his car with an SUV.

Officers then used a Taser to subdue Reyes and take him into custody. He reportedly told them he didn't stop because his vehicle was uninsured.

He was taken to a nearby hospital for medical attention.

He’s facing charges for evading arrest in a vehicle and possession of narcotics. He could face additional charges once detectives review the case.

No officers were hurt.

What they're saying:

FOX 4 talked to a woman who saw the takedown.

"I was scared because I didn’t know what was happening because there were police officers from other cities, also Dallas sheriff’s deputies," said Debra Garcia, a witness. "I mean, imagine from Grand Prairie down to here. It had to be something serious."

What we don't know:

It’s not clear how serious Reyes’ injuries were.
