The van stopped on the side of Old Longview Road and the deputy ordered the driver to turn off the vehicle when he allegedly drove away, officials said. The deputy then began her pursuit trough East Fifth Street and Loop 323 where the driver went allegedly through a red light, according to authorities.

The driver stopped when he allegedly crashed into two vehicles going south on Loop 323, officials said. According to a press release, several people were injured including the driver of the van and his female passenger.

Officials identified the driver of the van as Shelton-Groves and he was arrested and booked into Smith County Jail on Sunday for parole violation and evading arrest, after being treated and released from UT Health Main.
