Burglary suspect leads authorities on chase

By Scott Harvey

Quinlan – Hunt County authorities were led on a chase Thursday afternoon following a reported burglary near Lake Tawakoni.

A homeowner in the 6600 block of FM 276 discovered a person inside a barn located on his property.

The suspect then fled in a vehicle and the homeowner followed while calling 911. A short time later, the suspect vehicle was spotted by a Hunt County constable, and officers gave chase until the man stopped at his Quinlan residence, leading officers on a short foot pursuit.

The man is charged with burglary of a building and evading arrest or detention with a vehicle.

His name has not been released pending formal arraignment.
