02.08.17 Suspect Evaded Police But Another Subject Arrested for Public Intoxication

179 – On February 8th at approximately 1:00 a.m., officers responded to the 4800 block of Oak Hollow in reference to a burglary of a motor vehicle in progress. Upon arrival in the area officers observed a subject walking in the area that matched the description of the burglary suspect. Officers attempted to make contact with the subject which prompted the subject to flee on foot. Officers set up a perimeter to search for the suspect, unfortunately they were unsuccessful in the search for the suspect. During the search officers did come across a subject they thought could be the suspect and attempted to contact him and he fled on foot as well, however officers were able to apprehend him and identified him as 33 year old Oscar Chavez of Eagle Pass, Texas . While he was ruled out as being the burglary suspect, it was determined that Mr. Chavez was intoxicated and therefore he was placed under arrest for Public Intoxication and transported to the Baytown Municipal Jail.
