A Texas police chief and a US Customs and Border Protection agent were injured in a high-speed pursuit of a man who blew through a checkpoint and was later arrested following an hours-long standoff at a storage facility.

The wild chase began around 5:45 a.m. Thursday after the suspect, 30-year-old Robert Michael Stuart, was stopped at a border patrol checkpoint in Duval County.

Agents asked Stuart to move on to the second checkpoint for further inspection, but instead he hit the gas, prompting agents to give chase, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Freer Police Chief Rolando Flores joined the pursuit and T-boned Border Patrol agent Manuel Perez as Perez pulled out of Highway 44 in Encinal towards US 59, according to KIIITV.
