Houston Parking Lot Takeover Ends in 100-MPH Chase and Arrest

Deputies say the seized Dodge Charger could be forfeited, signaling a tougher stance on dangerous meetups.

Overview

  • Harris County deputies responded to a takeover at I-45 and Greens Road with about 100 to 150 cars doing donuts and stunts.
  • When they tried to stop a red Dodge Charger, the driver fled and a pursuit stretched several miles at more than 100 mph.
  • The Charger ran out of gas near a Popeye's, the driver ran off on foot, and deputies arrested him with no injuries reported.
  • Investigators seized the car and turned it over to the district attorney's office, with ABC13 reporting it will be subject to asset forfeiture.
  • Officials have not released the driver's name or charges, and authorities point to vehicle seizures as a tool to curb risky takeovers.
