BEAUMONT, Texas — Beaumont Police have arrested three teen boys following a chase through Beaumont and into Chambers County in a stolen car early Tuesday morning.

When the driver pulled, over a passenger, Brycelyn Nelson, 17, got out of the car and was taken into custody but the driver then sped off, starting what became a lengthy chase.
Nelson was later arrested on outstanding warrants.
