One Arrested Following Vehicle Pursuit

On June 2, 2026, an LPD night shift sergeant attempted to stop a car on Pan American Dr. The driver, identified as 40 year old Scott Randall of Cleveland Texas, refused to stop and fled from officers.

Randall led officers to US Highway 59 and continued fleeing at high speeds into San Jacinto County. Deputies and troopers from several agencies joined the pursuit. Randall eventually realized he wasn’t getting away, and stopped. Randall was taken into custody without incident for Evading Arrest/Detention with a Motor Vehicle.

During the investigation, officers found crack co***ne in his possession. Officers also learned that Randall had two active warrants from Montgomery County for Theft of Property.

The Livingston Police Department would like to thank the Polk County Sheriff's Office TX, Sheriff Byron Lyons, the San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office - Sheriff Sam Houston , and the Texas Department of Public Safety - Southeast Texas Region for their assistance during this incident.
