A 38-year-old Bowie man received minor injuries Saturday night when the stolen vehicle he was allegedly driving crashed into a tree during a high speed pursuit.
The chase went through several parts of Bowie before coming to an end along U.S. 287. Bowie Police Chief Guy Green said the pursuit of the stolen vehicle began when the department received a call from Sheriff Marshall Thomas about 7 p.m. Saturday.
Thomas said he was following an 2007 PT Cruiser with Oklahoma tags which he recalled being reported stolen the night before. Thomas was in his personal vehicle at the time. Bowie Police had developed information on the stolen vehicle and reported that to the sheriff’s office the night before.
The Cruiser had been reported stolen through the Burkburnett Police Department. Thomas at the time of the call was following the suspect, Daniel Lee Henry, in the area of Coggins and U.S. Highway 81. The vehicle also could be seen throwing items out of the car in the area of Session and Hwy. 81. The material was later found and believed to be methamphetamine.
