On 11-16-24 at about 11:12 pm officers observed a black truck exiting a driveway at IH 37 and Water St. As the truck exited, it accelerated quickly causing the rear tires to screech and rear end of the vehicle to fishtail. The driver’s behavior clearly disregarded for the safety of other motorists and pedestrians nearby.

A traffic stop was conducted of the truck and the driver was placed under arrest for reckless driving.

44-year-old Adam Perez was transported to the city detention center for booking, where he was additionally charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon. A gun was located in his vehicle at the time of the offense.
