A traffic stop in Rose City on Saturday, Christmas Day, led to a car chase and an eventual drug bust. The Rose City Marshal’s Office stopped a black GMC pickup truck because the vehicle had an obstructed paper E-tag and was believed to have evaded a deputy with Rose City the previous night.
While officers attempted to conduct the traffic stop, the pickup truck stopped briefly and then fled the scene followed by officers in pursuit. The chase went through multiple counties before ending in Chambers County. Two suspects were arrested and transported to the Orange County Jail charged with Evading Arrest and Possession of Marijuana.
Officers seized over $10,000 in U.S. currency and the marijuana. The Rose City Marshal’s Office thanked the Vidor Police Department, Orange County Precinct 4 Constable Matt Ortego, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, the Chambers County Sheriff’s Office, and the Orange County Dispatch Center for their assistance in the arrest.
