Early-morning chase from Beaumont to Vidor ends when suspect runs out of gas

A Beaumont narcotics officer initially spotted him driving recklessly and attempted to pull him over.

BEAUMONT, Texas — Relatives of a man involved in a police chase Wednesday night say he is out of jail and back home on Thursday. 

The chase ran from Beaumont to Vidor. 

Police initially charged the 65-year-old man with 'evading arrest' for the Wednesday chase. 

The man's daughter told 12News he has Alzheimer's and Dementia. 

She claims Houston authorities were in the process of issuing a silver alert at the time of the chase. 

A Beaumont police spokesperson tells us, it'll be up to the family to show documentation to the DA's office and they'll decide whether to drop charges.
