SMITH COUNTY, Texas — The Smith County Sheriff's Office is providing more details after a disturbance at a local apartment complex overnight.
According to the SCSO, around 12:45 a.m. Tuesday, an officer with the Bullard Police Dept. saw a pickup Hwy. 69 at an excessive rate of speed. The officer attempted to pull the truck over, but the driver, identified as Jonathan Lizarraga-Romero, 29, of Tyler, began to speed away toward Jacksonville.
Officials say the chase went into Jacksonville and east into Whitehouse, then toward Tyler.
The SCSO says Lizarraga-Romero pulled into an apartment complex in the 4400 block of Troup Hwy., got out of the truck and ran. Authorities say as he was running, he fired a shot at a deputy before breaking into an apartment unit occupied by two women and two young children. He then left that unit and barricaded himself inside another unit.
After several minutes, the SCSO says the suspect came out of the apartment and was taken into custody without further incident.
Lizarraga-Romero was charged with two counts of aggravated assault against a public servant and two unrelated warrants. His bond was set at $4 million.
Additionally, Dayana Briseno, 22, also of Tyler, was arrested on site for hindering apprehension of a known felon. Her bond was set at $20,000.
This comes after a Sunday night chase in Tyler landed three people in a local hospital.
According to the Tyler Police Dept. Public Information Officer Det. Andy Erbaugh, around 10 p.m., an officer attempted to stop a vehicle on Front St. The officer said the driver was possibly intoxicated.
Det. Erbaugh tells CBS19, the driver -- who also had a female passenger in the vehicle -- took off onto Palace St. and continued onto Highway 155 with police in tow. Officials say the suspect driver then crashed into another vehicle at the Walton Rd. intersection.
The driver and passenger in the suspect vehicle were taken to a local hospital for treatment, as well as the driver of the vehicle that was hit.
Charges are pending for the suspect driver.
