ORANGE, Texas — A woman in Orange was arrested early Wednesday morning following a low-speed chase with a child passenger in her SUV.
Officers in Orange attempted to stop a 2008 Chevy SUV driven by Evelyn Marie Dargin, 41, for a traffic violation in the 100 block of 6th St according to Sargent Medina of the Orange Police Department.
Dargin refused to stop and led police on a 30-minute chase that did not appear to reach high speeds.
Police say Dargin was driving erratically during the chase.
Officers tried using "stop sticks" twice to flatten the SUV's tires but were only able to flatten one front tire Medina told 12News.
When the SUV eventually stopped in the 1500 block of 15th Street behind the Kroger grocery store, officers found that Dargin had a 2-year-old child in the SUV with her.
Officers arrested Dargin on charges of evading in a motor vehicle and child endangerment according to Medina.
She was taken into custody without incident.
