The Columbia Police Department announced in a social media post that it arrested a man on Wednesday afternoon after a 20-minute chase.
Police wrote that detectives talked to a man with “several felony warrants” at 2:30 p.m. The man allegedly told police he had a gun and sped away.
The chase occurred on northbound Highway 63 before going on Route B toward Hallsville, the post says. Once the chase reached Hallsville, the man drove southbound back toward Columbia and then went west on Highway 124, the post says.
The man then drove through several fields before getting back on southbound Highway 63, police wrote. He was eventually arrested around 2:50 p.m. near Highway 63 and Dripping Springs Road, police wrote.
The man’s name was not revealed on Wednesday afternoon.
