Vincenzo Esteban Flores (Garland Police Department)

Vincenzo Esteban Flores, 29, was arrested on a charge of evading arrest and for a parole violation.

The chase began just before 10:30 a.m. when Flores took off through a red light at Broadway and Rowlett roads. A Garland motorcycle officer who was stopped at the intersection followed him, but Flores refused to slow down, police said.

The pursuit ended about 11 miles away in a field behind a church in the 1400 block of Interstate 30 in Mesquite.

Flores refused to exit the vehicle and made threats about having a gun, police said. In the meantime, officers learned he was wanted on a felony warrant for a parole violation.

Garland SWAT negotiators arrived and persuaded Flores to surrender.

Officers did not locate a gun.
