After leading law enforcement officers on a two-and-a-half hour chase through multiple Texas counties while driving an 18-wheeler, a 51-year-old Ormond Beach man was arrested and faces two felony charges, according to Texas news reports.
The man, Christopher Lubowski, led authorities on a chase covering over 160 miles of road, police reported according to FOX 26 Houston. The chase started in Roman Forest, a city in Montgomery County, Texas, and ended in Fort Bend County, Texas.
Police told FOX 26 Houston that Lubowski was employed by the trucking company of the 18-wheeler he was driving, and that he is believed to have been working a route from Florida when the chase began due to Lubowski's erratic driving.
Montgomery County Sheriff's Office deputies began assisting in the chase after a Patton Village police unit responded to a call around 2 p.m. about an 18-wheeler driving erratically and swaying on Highway 59 and Highway 242 near Houston, Texas.
The chase resulted in a couple crashes and one person admitted to the hospital, but "no serious injuries," according to a Roman Forest Police sergeant.
Lubowski faces a felony evading charge and a possession of a controlled substance charge, as methamphetamine was believed to have been found on his person.
His bond, according to FOX 26 Houston, was set at $150,000.
