A Texas State Trooper attempted to make a traffic stop for a defective tail light in Texarkana Saturday, and that led to an hour and 15 minute chase on Hwy 67 and I-30 that finally ended in Arkansas when the trooper shot out a tire of the suspect’s vehicle. The suspect, William Russell McAlexander, whose hometown was unavailable, was flown to an area hospital after complaining of chest pains but there were no other injuries reported. The investigation is continuing.
