Brazos County Sheriff’s Arrests Follows A Vehicle Chase And A Foot Chase

A Bryan man is in the Brazos County jail after he was arrested on eight warrants from four counties and leading multiple law enforcement officers on a chase of approximately 40 miles. The arrest report from a Brazos County sheriff’s deputy says Tuesday night’s chase (April 23) involving 40 year old Kristofer Wingate began in the area of Texas and Villa Maria. The pursuit went east, over the freeway down Boonville Road and Highway 30, then south on Bird Pond Road, through College Station’s Foxfire neighborhood, then north on the freeway back into Bryan, then west on Highway 21 into Burleson County. The chase ended near Cooks Point on Farm Road 1362 near Highway 21. Wingate remains held as of April 25th on a new charge of evading arrest, three warrants from Grimes County, two from Brazos and Waller counties, and one warrant from Burleson County. Online jail records show Wingate is held without bond on two Waller County warrants charging him with deadly conduct by discharging a firearm, the Burleson County warrant charging him with family violence assault, and a Grimes County warrant charging him with possession of a controlled substance. Bonds on the other charges totals $249,000 dollars. A Brazos County sheriff’s deputy who sees a pickup following another vehicle too closely on Highway 21 near the Brazos River at two in the morning on Tuesday (April 23) gets the truck to stop. After that, the deputy’s arrest report says the driver gets out and runs into a field. The driver stops after running 50 to 75 yards when he is tased by the deputy. That leads to a 34 year old Bryan man going to the Brazos County jail for the 34th time in 16 years. Felipe Tello Jr. was charged with DWI, driving with an invalid license with a prior conviction, evading arrest with a prior conviction, and threatening the deputy and two jail officers. At the time of this arrest, Tello was awaiting trials in seven criminal cases dating back almost three years on two felony and five misdemeanor charges. Tello remains held as of April 25th in lieu of bonds totaling $33,000 dollars.
