County to the DPS Hint, we advised Gerald there in the area looking for it.
00:06
Jim Ford, he was doing about 170 plus on 35,
00:11
so he might have blown on through Gerald, but I'm trying to look at gas stations and other things.
00:15
It's going to be a dark, it looked like a dark brown or possibly dark gray,
00:21
had a black wing in the back, and it had a Texas plate on the back, with white colored plate, so I'm assuming it's a Texas plate.
00:34
You know, Raleigh-1-7, clear, quick for.
00:43
Sixth,
00:45
five, six, five, three, we're all able to get the location for me?
00:47
That's permanent.
00:48
If he's crossing the county line, it's going northbound, passing 277 word-wide so, we go now.
00:55
Yeah, I'll go ahead and stay north on it, if y'all can, um...
01:06
If y'all can have isolated, oh, was it blocked out still?
01:16
Negative not blocked out, but he's going over 130 now.
01:21
Yeah, if Gerald wants to continue so we can keep eyes on, and if you don't get Bell County and Salado involved also, I'm headed up that way,
01:30
there should be too many gas stations in between here and there, so we should have a little bit of time to get units in route.
01:42
Receive.
01:51
63303-O-3-Oston, how many radio channels we have passed in here?
02:02
Austin, 64303, you should just be passed to Regionall 1.
02:07
6.307, 64303.
02:10
I'm going to have to go down for gas, but 64301 is coming up behind us.
02:15
Jim, I'm going to go ahead and cruise on up here into Bell County.
02:22
Thur-3Aston, is there a way to patch ARCOMs and Bell County into this channel?
02:35
Negative virus stations do not have Bell County's channels?
02:39
Tim, four, I guess if you can get on the phone with them and let them know so we can start getting assets in the area and then just hear it back over here, I'm eventually going to run out of a signal.
02:51
Send four, Bell County advise they were sending units will also advise DPS Waco.
03:00
County 6-8303.
03:02
Go ahead.
03:04
Yes, sir. Gerald Pee lost sight of that vehicle at the rest area north of the county line no longer had eyes on it.
03:11
It was terminating.
03:14
Did they initiate a stop on it?
03:24
Somebody on check with.
03:29
Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and pass it.
03:30
Did they say they passed the rest area or pulled in the rest area?
03:39
We're checking with them.
03:41
If you check in there and airbag, I'm passing the rest area right now, so for the second unit, DPSD is probably 3.01 can check there.
03:54
Just make sure he didn't pull off in there, and then I'm going to continue up here on into Bell County.
04:04
County to 6th, Wyoming County 6, 403 is going to be unknown if he pulled into the rest area or not.
04:10
He lost sight of him around that area and he did not initiate a traffic cycle on the vehicle.
04:15
