According to a criminal complaint obtained by Channel 5 News, a Weslaco police officer spotted Medrano inside a gray GMC Sierra near the 200 block of Abilene Drive and attempted to pull him over.

The chase ended in Donna at the intersection of Hernandez and Goolie roads when Hernandez’s vehicle crashed into a ditch, and he fled on foot.

During the chase, Medrano struck one vehicle and “almost caused multiple vehicle collisions” while weaving in and out of traffic, the complaint stated.

Details of Medrano's arrest weren't immediately available.
