Cedric Dewayne Love Sr., 41, of Bryan led troopers on a chase ending with Love being tasered and arrested.

According to Department of Public Safety Trooper Joe Morgan, Love was observed traveling in excess speed on Texas State Highway 6 Southbound near the Grimes County/ Brazos County line, Tuesday, June 4, at approximately 3:30 p.m.

Navasota Police Department and Grimes County Sheriff’s deputies joined in the pursuit that eventually ended in front of the residence of Love’s father.
