Multi-county car chase: Conroe man arrested

What we know:

Raul Alcantaria was initially wanted for online solicitation of a minor, according to Montgomery County Precinct 4 Constable Kenneth Hayden.

Officials say the chase started after the suspect fled from authorities near a movie theater in New Caney.

The car chase went through Precinct 4, Precinct 3, and back to Precinct 4 before going through Liberty County and reaching San Jacinto County. Constable Hayden says the car crash came to a dead end on Redbud Lane in Shepherd. 

Allegedly, Alcantaria shot at deputies while getting out of the vehicle. A deputy from outside Montgomery County returned fire. Neither person was reported injured.

The chase then continued on foot, but a drone team with Liberty County authorities found the suspect hiding in the woods. Alcantaria was taken into custody without further incident.
