Rosanne Hughes, a spokeswoman for the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, said a deputy pulled Solarte over near SeaWorld San Antonio at West Military Drive and Bobcat Pass after he disregarded a stop sign.

Solarte initially stopped, Hughes said, but then he fled the scene.

The deputy flipped on his emergency lights and horn while following Solarte, but he refused to stop.
