The Grimes County sheriff’s office Facebook page says the driver avoided stop sticks several times, one which involved nearly hitting a DPS trooper.

The chase went through Bryan and College Station before ending in the area of University Drive East and Oakmont Circle. 54 year old John May of Iola was returned to Grimes County on two warrants and new charges related to the chase. This marks May’s third trip to jail in two months.
