College Station – A high-speed police chase that started in Navasota ended in College Station on Wednesday morning, resulting in the arrest of a 20-year-old male suspect. The individual, identified as Stephan Kendrick Gilbert from Bryan, was taken into custody following the pursuit, which lasted several minutes and included multiple law enforcement agencies.

The chase was initiated when a K9 officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop on Gilbert’s vehicle. However, instead of stopping, the driver fled the scene. The College Station Police Department (CSPD) confirmed that at the time of the pursuit, Gilbert was wanted on two active warrants, which likely motivated his attempt to evade law enforcement.

The pursuit commenced when the Navasota Police Department (NPD) located Gilbert’s vehicle and began the chase along Highway 6. To effectively stop the vehicle, CSPD set up stop sticks aimed at disabling the tires. Gilbert ultimately exited Highway 6 at the Harvey Road exit, where NPD performed a pit maneuver, successfully bringing his vehicle to a halt.

Upon stopping, Gilbert attempted to flee on foot but was quickly apprehended by responding officers. Following his arrest, Gilbert was charged with multiple offenses, including evading arrest in a vehicle, evading arrest on foot, and resisting arrest. Additionally, he faces another charge related to evading arrest in the College Station area.

The police chase resulted in the temporary shutdown of the southbound feeder road from Harvey to Holleman Drive, creating a brief disruption in traffic. Notably, a baby car seat was spotted on top of Gilbert’s vehicle during the incident; however, police have confirmed that no children were present in the vehicle at any time. Fortunately, no injuries were reported throughout the event.

The chase concluded around 11:20 a.m., after which the road was reopened to traffic. The swift actions of multiple law enforcement agencies ensured that the situation was resolved without any harm to the public or the suspect.
