Archived as originally published. Information reflects the date of this article.

The Texas Department of Public Safety says that an Orange County motorcyclist is jailed after leading a state trooper in a brief pursuit early Monday evening. DPS Sergeant Shana Clark said it began at about 6:4o on Highway 96 near County Road 835 in the Buna area and ended a few minutes later on Farm to Market Road 1004 near County Road 703. Clark said the trooper tried to stop the man on a 2007 Yamaha, but he began to flee. Once in custody, Clark said it was discovered that the man, 4O-yeat-old Eddie Dunwoody, Jr., of Vidor, was wanted in Jasper County on a felony charge of Burglary. Clark said Dunwoody will now face another felony charge of Evading Arrest or Detention with a Motor Vehicle. Dunwoody was transported to the Jasper County Jail.
