Law enforcement officials from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office successfully apprehended an individual involved in the Thursday afternoon incident. The suspect, identified as a 27-year-old male, was observed driving erratically and disregarding traffic signals in a residential neighborhood.

The car involved in the incident was reported stolen, and a firearm, also believed to be stolen, was found inside. After a day-long manhunt, law enforcement managed to locate and detain the suspect. He now faces multiple charges including assault, attempted evasion, and possession of stolen property. Authorities are working closely with various agencies to ensure comprehensive prosecution of the suspect, emphasizing their commitment to community safety.

The assistant chief of police expressed strong sentiments regarding the incident, underscoring the importance of collaboration between law enforcement and the community.
