JCSO arrests four for evading

A Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) deputy was responding to a wreck when they came across a stalled car occupied by a group of men who would later run from officers before being arrested for evading.

At about 6:43 a.m. July 5, a JCSO deputy was en route to a wreck on Interstate 10 when he came across a 2019 Red Dodge Charger stalled in the lane of traffic near Taylor Bayou.

The deputy began speaking to the four men who occupied the vehicle. As the deputy began running the license plate, all four occupants began fleeing on foot. It was discovered that the vehicle had been reported stolen in Beaumont on June 30.

“Deputies were able to take two of the suspects into custody very quickly,” according to the release. “An extensive search of the area by land and air did not immediately result in the capture of the remaining two suspects. Deputies spoke to nearby residents and made them aware of the situation.”

At approximately 12:05 p.m., a citizen reported seeing the two remaining suspects near the same area as they exited the woods. Deputies responded and, after a brief foot chase, took the remaining two suspects in custody. Those arrested include Demetrish Miles, 18, Perry Hill, 19, Demarcus Arvie, 20, and an unnamed 16-year-old boy. Officers charged each suspect with evading detention or arrest.

“The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office wishes to thank Texas DPS, Texas Parks and Wildlife and Constable Pct. 4 Werner’s Office for their assistance,” deputies wrote. “Also, assisting in the search was JCSO K9 Duc (pronounced Duke) with his partner Deputy Crain.”
