A 25-year-old man is facing multiple charges after police say he led them on a chase with a child in the vehicle he was driving.
Edward Resendez was arraigned Thursday on multiple charges of endangering a child, marijuana possession, reckless driving and evading arrest, court records show.
A juvenile is in custody in connection with the chase, according to the Edcouch Police Department.
The chase started in Edcouch on Lackland Street near Mile 3 Road when Edcouch police officers responded to a disturbance in the area and saw Resendez and the juvenile in the area with a gun, police said.
Resendez and the juvenile fled from the scene in the vehicle with a child in it and were caught in Mercedes.
The juvenile is in custody at the Hidalgo County juvenile detention center.
Resendez remains behind bars on a $145,000 bond.
