Around 9:30 a.m., Texarkana Arkansas Police received a BOLO for a reported kidnapping out of Hooks, Texas.

Just after 12:30 p.m., officers spotted the suspect vehicle on Highway 71. When officers approached, the driver — 29-year-old Jason Hosey — allegedly refused commands and sped away.

TAPD and Arkansas State Police chased the vehicle onto Interstate 30, ending it with a tactical maneuver near Jefferson Avenue. Hosey was taken into custody, and a female passenger was found safe.

Hosey is charged with felony fleeing. Hooks Police continue investigating the original kidnapping case, and more charges could follow.
