BAYLOR COUNTY (KFDX/KJTL)— A semi-rig driver is in custody Friday evening after a lengthy high-speed chase that included spike strips that led to a stand-off with law enforcement in Baylor County.

Reporter Zach Verdea has been on scene of the standoff all day and he joins us live from Highway 114 in between Olney and Seymour.

The chase reportedly started in Jack County Friday morning when the semi-rig hauling a flatbed trailer reached speeds of over 100 miles per hour.

A standoff in Baylor County ended around 3:45 p.m.

The over four long stand-off ended on Highway 114 in between Olney and Seymour.

It all began before 10 a.m. Friday morning, as the semi-truck in question led police on a three-county chase, going right through Olney, and the chase finally came to a stop, but it didn’t end so quickly, a stand-off began.

Sgt. Dan Buesing said the driver claimed to have a bomb, prompting the Abilene bomb squad to be brought in.

Police, sheriffs, DPS, game wardens, they had just about every type of law enforcement at the scene with unconfirmed reports of shots fired.

It was not until about 3:50 p.m. when they finally detained the driver of the truck.

“It did take a little bit for negotiators to continue to talk and then they finally had some assistance from the Abilene bomb squad and some other swat members and special response team members and they were able to successfully get the driver out of the vehicle everything is okay, everybody is alright but around 3:15 they were able to get the driver out the vehicle safely he is under arrest at this time and will be facing charges from this point from multiple counties,” Buesing said

Now we still don’t know the identity of the driver or the motive of what exactly happened to set all of this off, but the truck is registered to Robert Cearly Trucking out of Springtown.
