According to the arrest affidavit, deputies with the Wichita County Sheriff’s Office were notified by Clay County deputies that they were attempting to stop a vehicle traveling northbound on U.S. 287.

Deputies said the vehicle was a 2005 white Ford Explorer pulling a single-axel trailer behind it.

According to authorities, they attempted to deploy stop sticks twice, on the highway before the Fisher Road exit, and again at the Fisher Road exit, but the vehicle drove around them.

The third deployment of stop sticks was successful in deflating the right rear tire of the vehicle and the right tire of the trailer.

Deputies said the vehicle exited the freeway at Broad Street, ran multiple red lights, and eventually turned down 14th Street.

A Wichita County deputy performed a tactical maneuver by striking the left rear side of the Explorer with the front of his cruiser, causing the vehicle to spin out and come to a stop at the intersection of Elizabeth Avenue and Clark Street.

The driver, later identified as Boster, was transported to United Regional before being medically cleared by staff and transported to jail.

The length of the chase, as well as the reason it began, remain unclear at this time.

A records check on Boster revealed at least 10 violations of various kinds in Parker County since 2017.
