MOUNT CALM, Texas (FOX 44) – The Hill County Sheriff’s Office says you can run, but you’re just going to go to jail tired.

After this chase, the suspect fled on foot. A perimeter was established, and Hill County Drones and K-9 officers were requested. After they arrived, they deployed the County drones and started to search the area. The man they were searching for was found lying down behind some trees. Perimeter Units were directed to him.
