Two individuals, identified as Angel Gabriel Vallejo Castillo, 17, and Gus Albert Villarreal, 17, were arrested by Harris County Constable Precinct 5 deputies following a high-speed police chase that concluded with a crash into a fast-food restaurant in Northwest Houston.
The pursuit initiated on the evening of November 18 in the 4300 block of the West Sam Houston Parkway when a deputy attempted to stop a 2009 Nissan Maxima for displaying an invalid temporary license plate. The suspects, however, refused to comply, prompting an 8-mile chase at high speeds.
The pursuit came to an end when the suspects tried to navigate through a parking lot at West Rd. and the Sam Houston Parkway. Losing control of their vehicle, the Nissan Maxima crashed into a KFC restaurant. Luckily, no injuries were reported as the car entered the establishment through a window before coming to a halt in the dining area.
Both the driver and one passenger fled the scene on foot. The passenger was apprehended nearby with the assistance of a Precinct 4 K9 deputy. The driver, later identified as Vallejo Castillo, was located hiding in a nearby apartment complex.
Vallejo Castillo and Villarreal are facing charges of evading arrest. Additional charges may be pending as authorities conduct tests on drugs discovered inside the suspects’ vehicle.
