The driver was relentless, leading police through the stockyards and surrounding neighborhoods at various speeds.

The red car would slow down as squad cars circled it, then it would somehow slip through and take off again.

Eventually the chase ended at Jacksboro Highway just under West Loop 820 with guns drawn as police waited for the driver to exit his car.

All lanes were closed as the incident unfolded.

At least 15 squad cars were on-scene.
