According to law enforcement, Delgado claimed he was injured during his arrest and brought to the hospital. Judging by the body cam video, he may have exaggerated his injuries just a bit.

The footage then shows the deputy chasing after the suspect down the street. The suspect was able to evade him initially, but was eventually apprehended several hours later.

Also this week…

Surveillance cameras from a Houston gas station show a minivan making multiple trips to the business, covertly siphoning over a thousand gallons of gas in broad daylight.
