Suspect in Coryell Co. pursuit found hiding in stock tank
Coryell County, Tx (FOX 44) – A 42-year-old man fleeing from deputies was found hiding in a stock tank after his truck was pursued across fields and down county roads near Mound in Coryell County Thursday night.
A criminal complaint stated that it all started when Coryell County Sheriff Scott Williams alerted deputies he had observed a wanted individual by the name of Anthony Cosper enter a house near him in the 3400 block of Coryell County Road 318. He told the deputies that the man had later gotten into a white Ford F-250 pickup and was leaving the house heading toward FM-3419.
The affidavit stated that when the deputy reached the area in a marked patrol unit and activated his overhead lights, the driver took off through the grass cutting toward FM-3419. The affidavit stated that when the pickup was evading and trying to get back onto the roadway he almost struck another deputy.
The pickup then was driven back through a field, turning and heading back to County Road 318. Deputies lost sight of him for a brief period then located the truck behind a residence in the 1900 block of County Road 318. The driver was not in the truck when deputies approached it. As deputies conducted an inventory of the vehicle they located a wallet with multiple cards with Anthony Cosper's name on them.

Davenport driver arrested after police find wrecked car, cocaine and cash: Court records
A 50-year-old Davenport man was in custody Saturday after Davenport Police say he drove the wrong way on a one-way and wrecked his car, according to Scott County arrest affidavits. Diondre Wakefield faces felony charges of controlled-substance violation and failure to affix a drug stamp, along with a serious misdemeanor charge of eluding, according to Scott County Court documents. About 11:53 p.m. Friday, Davenport Police saw Wakefield driving a white Dodge Charger in the area of the 400 block of Gaines Street, affidavits show. Officers knew Wakefield had several warrants for his arrest including local from Davenport Police and interstate from Rock Island County, according to affidavits. Police identified Wakefield as the driver. Officers activated their emergency lights and sirens to initiate a stop, but Wakefield 'immediately turned the wrong way on a one-way road and willfully failed to stop, fleeing at a high rate of speed,' police say in affidavits. Police relocated the Charger shortly afterward. The car had wrecked in the 800 block of Marquette Street and it was unoccupied. A K9 was on the scene and tracked southeast from the car. Officers gave Wakefield commands to surrender, but he remained hidden and refused to comply, affidavits say. During the track, police found a clear plastic bag containing 13.1 grams of cocaine discarded in a back yard, along with $42 cash. There was no tax stamp affixed to this, according to affidavits. The track continued south. Police found Wakefield about two houses south of where the narcotics and money were located. He had $755 cash. 'The large amount of the suspected crack cocaine along with the large amount of cash indicate (Wakefield) to be selling the crack cocaine,' police say in arrest affidavits. Wakefield was being held on a total $15,000 bond in Scott County Jail on Saturday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
