Tune in Wednesday April 8 @ 11am

I know every little scratch in my throat or mild headache I get, I immediately think the worse. Make sure you call your Dr if you think you have any symptoms. You can also call 211 if you have any COVID-19 questions.

Driving around our district and I saw this, thought it was beautiful.

On the morning of April 1st, a Central Patrol officer saw the suspects vehicle (black 4-door sedan) traveling south bound on I45 traveling at a high rate of speed.

Before the officer could exit his patrol car the suspect vehicle fled north bound on the I45 feeder rd. The vehicle drove north on I45 before turning around and coming back south bound. After a nearly 40 minute chase the suspect pulled into a motel parking lot on the 16000 block of the East Fwy. The suspect along with 3 other men got out of the vehicle and attempted to walk off.
