His outstanding warrants include felonies for possession of a controlled substance, fleeing police and prohibited substance in a correctional facility. He will now face an evading arrest warrant.
He was driving in the 1000 block of CR 779 when a Nacogdoches County Sheriff’s Office deputy tried to pull him over because there wasn't a front license plate. He fled in his vehicle.
