Bobcat Chase

San Angelo Police say a chase in Santa Rita yesterday followed the discovery of a stolen vehicle.

Officers raced to Vaughn Street, and one of them found a man running from the vehicle toward Fairmount Cemetery and Angelo State.

The man found a parked Bobcat vehicle at the cemetery belonging to maintenance staff.  Police say he drove it through the fence and then into the neighborhood.

When the Bobcat approached Santa Rita Elementary, SAPD asked the school to go into lockdown mode.

The chase continued onto South Bishop, where the man hit a patrol car with the Bobcat.  He kept going at 25 miles per hour, driving through alleys on several streets before hitting a tree at Yuca and Jefferson.

Police took the man into custody, but he had to go to the emergency room at Shannon Hospital.  They say when Shannon clears him, he goes to the justice center on a litany of charges.
