Bosque County Sheriff's deputies have arrested a man in connection with a shooting and chase that could have killed a child, officials say.

William Jackson Miller has been booked into the Bosque County Jail on felony charges of deadly conduct.

According to Sheriff Anthony Malott, they found him Tuesday hiding in a house a block away from his house.

Deputies had been looking for Miller since Saturday when, Malott says, Miller pulled out a handgun and started shooting at a vehicle he was following on Highway 144 driving North out of Walnut Springs.

While doing so, Malott says, the suspect almost hit a child riding a bicycle.

No one was injured.

Deputies are investigating a motive for the shooting.
