The pursuit unfolded Tuesday afternoon and resulted in one person being taken into custody following an evaluation at a local hospital.

According to DPS, a trooper tried to stop a 2008 black Ford Edge for a traffic violation on Vermont Street at about 1:40 p.m. The 35-year-old driver did not comply and drove away, leading officers through multiple areas of the city.
