MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas — Both suspects have been arrested after DPS Troopers said they tried to run over a sheriff’s deputy during a traffic stop near The Woodlands Wednesday.
The incident happened along I-45 near Rayford Road, sparking an afternoon manhunt and the arrest of one of two of the suspects involved.
Rebecca Orange, 29, was arrested around 4 p.m. Feb. 3. Tyler Goodson, 28, was arrested around 3 p.m. Feb. 9. Officials said Goodson was operating a stolen vehicle and led police on a short chase when they tried to pull him over.
Both suspects were wanted on multiple warrants, DPS said.
Orange ran from the scene and Goodson sped away in a white 1996 Chevrolet pickup, which was later found abandoned in the 1700 block of City Plaza in Spring.
This all started at 1:45 p.m. when a state trooper pulled over the suspects. DPS said the driver and passenger refused to identify themselves.
DPS called Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies to help confirm the identifies of the suspects. While DPS and deputies were waiting, they said Goodson jumped back into the truck and put it in reverse.
DPS said the trooper opened fire on the vehicle when it almost ran over a deputy.
Goodson was wanted on five warrants of criminal mischief, evading arrest with a vehicle, two counts of unauthorized use of motor vehicle, and burglary of a vehicle.
