JASPER COUNTY, Texas — A high-speed motorcycle pursuit that began in Jasper County and briefly crossed into neighboring areas ended with an arrest Friday morning after the rider crashed while attempting to evade law enforcement, according to the Jasper County Sheriff's Office.

Sheriff Chuck Havard said the incident began on December 26, 2025, at approximately 10:59 a.m., when Jasper County Deputy Brian Gray attempted to stop a motorcycle traveling northbound on U.S. Highway 96 from Jasper. The motorcycle did not have a license plate.

Authorities reported that the rider fled, leading deputies on a pursuit that reached speeds in excess of 130 miles per hour. As the pursuit approached the Sabine County line, Jasper County deputies terminated the chase due to public safety concerns.

A short time later, the Pineland Police Department observed the same motorcycle traveling southbound back into Jasper County and initiated another pursuit. Jasper County deputies rejoined the effort, along with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department game wardens.

During the pursuit, the motorcycle attempted to pass a Texas Parks and Wildlife vehicle. Officials said the rider lost control, sideswiped the game warden’s truck, and crashed.

The rider was taken into custody at the scene and identified as George Frederick Park, 37, of Louisiana. Investigators said Park was found in possession of methamphetamine and a pistol.

Park was transported to the Jasper County Jail and charged with the following offenses:

Evading Arrest or Detention with a Motor Vehicle (State Jail Felony)
Possession of a Controlled Substance, Penalty Group 1, under 1 gram (State Jail Felony)
Unlawfully Carrying a Weapon (Class A Misdemeanor)
