No one was injured when an individual was apprehended after a chase that started on Main Street in Alice Wednesday, Feb. 12. Jim Wells County Sheriff Joseph Baker said these are situations deputies face every day. 

“This is one of those situations where you don’t know what a person is going to do. A deputy tried to initiate a traffic stop and the person fled. At that point we did have a pursuit that went up on North Texas Boulevard turning East on Commerce to 359 where the person ended up going into a property and then running on foot. He was chased and caught by deputies,” said Baker.  

Arturo Ruiz was arrested and taken to the Jim Wells County Jail on an outstanding warrant for aggravated assault with a weapon.
