The SUV did not stop, and a chase began through the subdivision. FCSO said the chase went on for a while until the driver pulled into a driveway on FM 2145 just before Chapparal Estates. 

FCSO said the driver got out of the SUV, jumped a fence and a foot chase began. Shortly after, deputies took the man into custody. He was later identified as 18-year-old Hayes Burger.
