The Tarrant County Sheriff's Office has a wanted man behind bars on a string of charges but it took a chase and a helicopter search to nab him.

Deputies had a drug warrant out in the name of Robert Galloway. When they found him driving near Sydney and Crenshaw in the Fort Worth Poly neighborhood, they pulled him over. But suddenly, Galloway bailed out and made a run for it.

He got away for a while but additional deputies and Fort Worth police were called in to set up a perimeter with help from a police helicopter. It took about 45 minutes but they tracked Galloway down and hauled him on the original drug charges along with counts of evading arrest and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
