Handcuffed Suspect Steals Grand Prairie Police SUV, Leads High-Speed Texas Chase

A dramatic police incident unfolded in North Texas when a handcuffed suspect, initially apprehended after a high-speed chase involving a stolen Cadillac, managed to steal a Grand Prairie police SUV and lead officers on a second chase while still handcuffed. The suspect, who had suffered minor injuries from a police dog during his initial arrest, was placed in the back of a police Tahoe without a partition for medical treatment. He maneuvered his handcuffed hands to the front of his body, moved to the driver's seat, and fled, prompting another pursuit that reached speeds over 100 mph. The chase ended in Dallas near Interstate 30 and Westmoreland Road, where the suspect crashed the SUV, which rolled down an embankment before he was recaptured and hospitalized. No officers were injured, and police have yet to release the suspect's name or specify the charges, though multiple felonies are expected. The incident highlights concerns regarding police vehicle safety protocols and handling of detainees.
