High-speed chase

Ector County sheriff deputies went on a high-speed chase Thursday that claimed two cars and a homeowner's cinder-block fence after a man tried to run from them, Sgt. Gary Duesler said in a news release.

The man Duesler said they were chasing, Shon Rushmore, 36, was arrested and charged with felony evading and aggravated assault with a vehicle after they followed him all the way to the 3100 block of Eisenhower Road on the north side of Odessa, the release said.

Rushmore was not yet booked into the Ector County Detention Center by press time Thursday.

The chase started at a home near U.S. Highway 385 and Glenn Strefet south of Odessa, where deputies were called at approximately noon after someone complained that Rushmore was causing some sort of disturbance. Deputies found that he had three traffic warrants on him as well.

Once they reached the home, a car pulled out of the home and drove away from the deputies. The deputies turned on their lights to get him to pull over, the release said, but the car fled north toward the city.

DPS joined the deputies and chased the car through several streets in Odessa's south side as it headed north and east. While cutting through the Walgreen's parking lot at 801 Maple Ave., the car collided with another vehicle that was being driven through the lot, but that didn't stop the car from continuing north on Dixie Boulevard, the release said.

No injuries were reported from that crash.

The high-speed chase continued on North Dixie until Rushmore crashed into a cinder block fence at the 3100 block, the release said, when Rushmore bailed out of the car and fled on foot, according to the news release. He was eventually caught in the 3100 block of Eisenhower Road, approximately a third of a mile away from the crash.
