Car crashes in Marlin while running from DPS

Three men were booked into Falls County Jail on Friday, Nov. 13, as an attempted traffic stop quickly turned into a chase. 

Texas Department of Public Safety officers attempted to pull over the vehicle as they drove down the road early that morning, but the car refused to pull off the road. The car ‘sped off’ at that point. according to Falls County Sheriff Chief Deputy Derrick Johnson. 

The Falls County Sheriff’s Department sent out deputies to assist with the chase once it was called in. 

The chase ended with a crash as the vehicle plowed into an object outside a Marlin home. Two of the three men were arrested immediately, but the third man fled. He was later found hiding in a closet of the home the vehicle crashed in front of. 

Identities of the three suspects have not been released.
