Suspect wanted out of Chambers County dies after attempted arrest in Baytown, police sayBAYTOWN, Texas (KTRK) -- A suspect who was wanted in Chambers County died after officers attempted to arrest him in Baytown, according to police.
On Tuesday, the Baytown Police Department said officers conducted a traffic stop along Crosby-Cedar Bayou Road on a suspect wanted by the Chambers County Sheriff's Office for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
During the stop, the wanted suspect and another person inside the vehicle refused to comply with officers' commands, Baytown PD said, resulting in officers deploying pepper ball munitions and a police K-9.
"The Baytown Police Department would like to clarify that no firearms were discharged during this incident," the department said in a social media post.
It's unclear what may have played a role in the man's death, but Baytown PD said an investigation is ongoing.
