Multiple agencies, citizen help arrest man following foot chase
NAVASOTA, Texas (KBTX) – A Porter man is facing multiple charges after leading law enforcement on a foot chase last week.
Police arrested 50-year-old Cedrick Bass on August 2.
That morning, a DPS trooper pulled him over in a parking lot near the corner of Highway 6 and Highway 90. During the stop, Bass got out of the car and ran into a pasture/wooded area.
Several Navasota police officers helped set up a perimeter between the suspect and businesses due to the suspect having a bag and reaching for an unknown item.
School Resource Officers also alerted Navasota High School because students were practicing outside in a nearby parking lot.
The suspect eventually ran through a pasture where a citizen caught up with him and helped the pursuing officer.
The officer took the suspect into custody, ending the half-mile chase.
Bass is facing evading and drug-related charges.
