A 22-year-old was arrested after driving recklessly and leading San Marcos police on chase in and out of several apartment complexes early Monday morning.
A San Marcos Police Department officer observed a 2014 Jeep Trailhawk SUV driving recklessly at around 100 mph on the east access road of Interstate 35 near State Highway 123 at approximately 2:21 a.m., officials said, adding that an attempt to stop the vehicle was made. Police added that the driver — later identified as Jacob Anthony Fuentes, 22, of San Marcos — proceeded to evade the officer, failed to yield then traveled northbound onto Linda Drive and through several apartment complexes.
SMPD said Fuentes exited the vehicle while it was still moving and fled on foot for a short distance at the Townwood Apartments, 520 Linda Drive.
