Bell County deputy foot pursuit nets two fugitives
Bell County, Tx (FOX44) – Two fugitives chased down by Bell County deputies were hospitalized, being treated for the effects of fentanyl after being taken into custody.
The incident began Friday evening as members of the Bell County Sheriff's Office Violent Crimes Apprehension Team were serving an arrest warrant in the 13000 block of Moffat Road. The warrant was for 28-year-old Paul Alejandro Rodriguez, who was wanted on felony charges. Rodriguez initially refused to exit the residence, then attempted to flee on foot with a female suspect.
Both were eventually taken into custody after a foot pursuit. The woman was identified as 28-year-old Jessica Rae Olivarri who was also found to have outstanding felony warrants.
Deputies reported that while they were being escorted, both suspects became visibly ill and admitted to ingesting Fentanyl. Emergency Medical Services were immediately requested. Officers from the Temple Police Department administered Narcan at the scene, which successfully reversed the effects of the drug.
Rodriguez and Olivarri were transported by Temple EMS to the hospital emergency room, with assistance from the Moffat Fire Department. They are currently receiving medical treatment.
Justice of the Peace Cliff Coleman has set Paul Alejandro Rodriguez's bonds for his warrants at $75,000 for Possession of a Controlled Substance (Bell County); $10,000 Criminal Mischief (Milam County); $10,000 Failure to Appear (Milam County); and three Motion to Revoke Probation- Possession of a Controlled Substance, Evading Arrest with a vehicle, and Abandoning/Endangering a Child, held for District Judge Wade Faulkner, 478th Judicial District Court (Bell County).
Jessica Rae Olivarri also had her bonds set for her warrants at $10,000 Failure to Identify-Fugitive (Bell County); $5,000 Driving While License Invalid-previous conviction (Bell County); $50,000 Evading Arrest with a vehicle (Coryell County); $5,000 Evading Arrest (Coryell County); and Motion to Revoke Probation- Possession of a Controlled Substance held for District Judge Paul LePak, 264th Judicial District Court (Bell County).
The Bell County Sheriff's Office Special Operations Group continues investigating this incident.
Both had been medically cleared and were in the Bell County Jail Monday.
