A Houston man fled a traffic stop on Interstate 10 in Orange County around noon Monday, crossing the state line into Louisiana before stopping his vehicle at Mile Marker 11.
Texas Department of Public Safety said Jiakang Chen, 23, was clocked at above the speed limit in his Toyota passenger vehicle while eastbound near mile marker 871 in Orange. A Trooper activated his emergency lights to conduct a traffic stop but Chen fled in the vehicle into Louisiana.
Chen was booked into the Calcasieu Parish jail on the charge of evading arrest and was awaiting extradition back to Texas, DPS said.
