The Lufkin Police Department identified the suspect as 26-year-old Todd Sturgis. According to police, Sturgis led officers on a high-speed pursuit last month after they attempted to take him into custody on Tarrant County warrants for kidnapping, evading arrest and delivery of a controlled substance. He managed to evade capture.

The incident resulted in Lufkin Police issuing a warrant for evading arrest.
