A teen is in the Minnie Rogers Juvenile Detention Center after fleeing from Beaumont police
this weekend. An officer spotted a stolen vehicle near Eastex and Lucas. The officer, and
other police units attempted to stop the stolen vehicle when the driver sped off. The chase
ended when the driver crashed into a telephone pole at Pine and Gill. Five juveniles attempted
to flee on foot and were quickly captured. The driver was taken into custody and charged with
unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and evading. Two police cars were damaged during the
pursuit.
