Police report man arrested after chase
A Bryan man who police said didn't stop when a Department of Public Safety trooper attempted to pull him over remained behind bars late Sunday.
Police said Phillip Wayne Strider, 23, used a vehicle to evade arrest, which means the charge was elevated from a misdemeanor to a state jail felony. It's a misdemeanor if a defendant flees from police on foot.
Court documents state that Strider was speeding on F.M. 2818 at about 11 p.m. Saturday when a trooper attempted to pull him over. The trooper followed Strider to Monito Way, where Strider lives, and made the arrest there.
Strider also was charged with driving with a suspended license. Bail was set at $5,800.
