A San Antonio man is behind bars after leading police on a high-speed chase down IH-35 in his vehicle. George Alvarado, 32, was arrested and charged with evading arrest with a vehicle, evading arrest detention, burglary of a vehicle, driving with license invalid with previous convictions and accident involving damage to vehicle.
On Saturday, June 1, at approximately 6:46 p.m., San Marcos police officers were dispatched to the Premium Outlets for a burglary of a vehicle. A witness described the suspect and his vehicle to officers who then saw it leaving the outlets and attempted a traffic stop. The driver refused to stop and continued onto North IH-35 at a high rate of speed.
Officers followed the vehicle, which exited the highway at exit 205 and began traveling east on Highway 80. In an attempt to run a red light at the intersection of Bugg Lane and Highway 80, Alvarado struck another car. Neither occupant in this vehicle was injured and their vehicle sustained only minor damage.
