Four law enforcement agencies converged on Pantego on Sunday night after a state trooper notified Arlington police that the Department of Public Safety was in pursuit of a vehicle, according to information from Arlington police.
The department was notified around 8:40 p.m. Sunday that the pursuit by a DPS trooper was headed westbound on Pioneer Parkway at Collins Street, according to police.
The driver who was being chased by law enforcement stopped near the intersection of Preston Trail Court and Smith Barry Road, in Pantego, where he or she fled on foot, Arlington police said.
