Johnson County Officers Shoot Wanted Suspect After Pursuit

Overview

• Officers shot Joseph Boy, a suspect wanted on multiple warrants, during an arrest attempt after a vehicle chase in Johnson County, Texas, and no officers were hurt.
• Deputies issued a BOLO, a be-on-the-lookout alert, and said he had earlier threatened a shootout rather than return to prison.
• DPS troopers located him and tried to stop his car, he drove off, and county deputies joined the pursuit.
• The chase ended when officers used a PIT maneuver that spun out his car and caused a crash near Jack Burton Drive and Texas 174.
• Authorities say he pulled a gun as they tried to arrest him, he was taken to a hospital with his condition undisclosed, and the Texas Rangers now lead the investigation with limited details expected during the review.
