A high-speed chase that began in Denton County and crossed three counties finally came to an end in Bowie Thursday afternoon after the suspect, driving in excess of 80 mph, blew through lights and around vehicles, sped into a residential area, parked the smoking vehicle and fled the scene.
Law officers from across the area converged into Bowie as the chase ensued followed by the manhunt for two suspects. In the end, two men were captured and arrested, along with a female suspect who allegedly came to pick up one of the men.
Jack Lawson, chief deputy for the Montague County Sheriff’s office, said local lawmen became involved around 4 p.m. as those chasing the suspect vehicle, a Dodge Charger, reported it was heading into Bowie.
A Denton County sheriff’s deputy reportedly ran the tag of the vehicle, and it came back showing felony warrants for the registered owner Kenton Malik Brack, 24, Rockwall. Lawson said during the reporting somewhere along the way it came across as a stolen vehicle, which was the assumption the SO staff was under.
“The Department of Public Safety had a hard time keeping up as he drove north on U.S. Highway 287 traveling anywhere from 80 to 100 mph. He got all the way to Bellevue when he turned on Belknap Road and eventually came out on U.S. 81, where he traveled south toward Bowie,” explained Lawson.
The young woman pictured. Jazmyn Webb, was arrested after she allegedly arrived at the scene to pick up her reportedly boyfriend, Kenton Brack. The man in the car with him was released.

After more than a year of turmoil and upheaval it appears the Amon Carter Lake Water Supply Corporation is back on its feet with a slate of new board members and plans to review by-laws and operations.
Last August all the board members resigned in the wake of a lawsuit by a resident who could not obtain water for a small housing development despite being in the district. The property owner also accused the board of not following open meetings or open records laws, or its own by-laws.
After the board resigned a receivership was requested from the court and was named in December 2025. The receiver or temporary manager was Nocona attorney Zach Renfro, who was directed by the court to seek out possible directors to rehabilitate the association and assure it meets the obligation of continuing to provide water to more than 300 members.
The corporation board conducted its first general membership meeting on March 27 where a state of the corporation was given and new directors
named. They are Kevin McShan, president; Josh Swint, vice president; Carla Swofford, secretary; Wesley Kelly, treasurer; Zach Gunter, Rob Hankins and Chase Thomas, all directors.
