Rodriguez had an outstanding warrant at the time for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon out of Guadalupe County, according to Seguin police.
During the traffic stop attempt, Rodriguez and two others, who haven’t been named, failed to yield and led officers on a chase. Their vehicle reached a speed of over 100 miles per hour, according to SPD.
Eventually, officers stopped pursuing Rodriguez due to “risk to the public’s safety as well as the officers involved,” a press release states.
