Garland police received a little help from state troopers and others during a chase that went through Garland, Dallas, Richardson and Plano early Wednesday.

Police were looking for Miguel Angel Alvarez in the 2200 block of Centerville Road when a Chevy Tahoe nearby took off. Troopers from the state Department of Public Safety joined in and blew out one of the Tahoe's tires.

That turned the high-speed chase into a slow-rolling pursuit through Richardson and Plano. Alvarez threw some drugs and a rifle out of the vehicle at that time, police said.

Multiple agencies assisted in the chase, including two DPS vehicles and officers from Dallas, Richardson and Plano.

The chase ended on Jupiter Road south of Royal Oaks Drive in Plano, and Alvarez was arrested.

He is facing charges of evading arrest in a vehicle, possession with intent to deliver Alprazolam, unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of marijuana and cocaine, and tampering with physical evidence.

He was also wanted on two outstanding warrants, police said.

He is being held in the Garland Jail. No bail had been set.
