Humble Officer in Training Arrests Driver After High-Speed Chase

A Humble Police officer in training arrested a driver on a felony evading charge after clocking the vehicle at 105 mph in a 40 mph zone earlier today.

While training with a handheld Lidar device, the officer observed the speeding vehicle and activated her emergency lights and siren to initiate a traffic stop. The driver refused to comply, accelerating further and attempting to evade the officer.

The vehicle entered the main lanes of U.S. Highway 59 before quickly exiting in an apparent effort to elude the pursuing officer. The officer continued pursuit and caught up to the vehicle as it entered Northeast Memorial.

The driver eventually pulled over and surrendered. He initially claimed he was rushing his female passenger to the hospital due to a panic attack, but the passenger later informed officers they had been heading to go shopping and that the driver was driving recklessly.

The driver, identified as 21-year-old Isaac Daniel Humphrey, was arrested and charged with Felony Evading.
