Troopers attempted a traffic stop on a black sport motorcycle at approximately 9:50 a.m. Monday near the intersection of the Loop 410 access road and Marbach Road.
Mattei, however, refused to stop. He led troopers on a brief chase, the report said.
Troopers said Mattei later abandoned the motorcycle near the intersection of Vance Jackson Road and Wall Street when he attempted to make a run for it.
Mattei was taken into custody following a foot pursuit, DPS said. He was taken to a local hospital for further treatment.
After his release from the hospital, the report said Mattei will be charged with evading arrest on foot, evading arrest with a motor vehicle and resisting arrest.
DPS said its investigation remains ongoing. Further information was not readily available.
