HARRIS COUNTY, Texas -- Deputies said they caught a man who had a parole violation for a homicide charge after a chase that spanned all the way from Houston to Katy overnight.The suspect, identified as 41-year-old Justin Dupree Tolliver, reportedly had an open parole violation warrant through the Texas Department of Public Safety for homicide.
The chase started on Houston's southeast side around 12:22 a.m. Tuesday when deputies reportedly tried to stop a white Buick Regal for speeding near the Gulf Freeway and Park Place Boulevard.Pct. 8 officials said Tolliver tossed a pistol out of the window of the vehicle at the SH-288 and Gulf Freeway interchange.
Houston police officers, who were assisting Pct. 8 with the chase, attempted a PIT maneuver to stop the suspect, but were unsuccessful. "Our dispatch is saying he's going to want to pull over in a second. So we're going to see what we can do about it," one officer reported. "They got him at gunpoint. He's refusing to get out."Video from the scene shows some damage to the glass on the building after the car jumped the curb and crashed into it.A female passenger in the car was handcuffed at the scene, but she was let go, deputies said.
