HENDERSON COUNTY, Texas (KETK) – A man was arrested in Henderson County on Tuesday after being accused of driving away in a 4-wheeler from a sheriff’s deputy, said officials.
A deputy saw a man driving on a county road around 2:15 p.m. Law enforcement tried to conduct a traffic stop because the 4-wheeler did not have an off-highway license plate.
The deputy said, when the man saw him, he accelerated. Authorities lost track of the man but later found the 4-wheeler at a residence and the vehicle was still warm.
Roy Byers was also arrested at the residence, and the 4-wheeler was stolen from Kaufman County, said the sheriff’s office.
Byers was taken to the Henderson County Jail and charged with evading arrest and theft.
