Then the driver then shot an automatic handgun out of his window at law enforcement while attempting to get onto Highway 249 from Grant Rd. Luckily no one was hit.

Constable deputies then backed off from the suspect and instead launched a DPS air unit to follow the driver.

The man eventually flipped his car after crashing into another vehicle at 249 and Antoine Dr.

Witnesses saw him get out with the handgun and run away.

A K9 and the DPS air unit helped locate the suspect in nearby woods, and eventually, Constable Canine Max nabbed him in a thick brush.

The suspect, identified as 22-year-old Jyquon Mackey, was transported to a hospital for dog bite wounds to his hands and genital area.
