HCSO Deputies Arrest Man After Hour Long Pursuit.

<p>(Harris County, TX)&nbsp; Harris County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office Patrol district 5 deputies have arrested and filed charges on a &nbsp;37 year old man for felony evading and violation of a protective order after leading deputies on an hour long chase through northwest and north Harris County last night Monday,&nbsp;October 24, 2016.</p>

<p>&nbsp;Deputy D. Hogan observed a tan colored Chevrolet Equinox parked in moving lane of traffic in the 8700 block of Fallbrook and N Gessner around 11:30pm.</p>

<p>&nbsp;The car was driven by Obdulio Mancillas and a 31 year old female was in the passenger seat.&nbsp;&nbsp; Deputy Hogan approached the vehicle and the female stepped out of the vehicle and told him she was being held against her will. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>As Hogan walked back to the vehicle, Mancillas started the vehicle and fled entering the E Sam Houston tollway.</p>

<p>Other units began assisting in the pursuit.&nbsp; Mancillas was reaching speeds of 90-95 miles per hour and disregarding other drivers or their safety.</p>

<p>He entered state highway 249 north and tried to elude deputies by exiting and making u turns and entering the highway again. &nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;Mancillas then fled east on the Beltway toward Interstate 45 north.</p>

<p>Deputies were able to disable his vehicle with the aid of a stop strip, and he eventually pulled to the side of Interstate 45 and Parmatta road and was taken into custody with incident.</p>

<p>It was learned from the female complainant she was the ex-girlfriend of Mancillas, and was forced into the vehicle after he followed her to a laundry mat in Montgomery County earlier in the evening.</p>

<p>A good job was done by all responding deputies and supervisors for maintaining the safety of the general public and bringing this incident to a safe conclusion.</p>

<p>Mancillas is currently being held&nbsp; with no bond.</p>
