When Ross pulled over and got out the driver James Darrel Johnson sped toward him hitting him and knocking him to the ground. The Deputy then got back in his car and began pursuit.
The chase reached speeds of 70 mph before Johnson ran over road spikes blowing out his tires. He then drove into the Pottsboro community of Hi-Land Shores speeding over a boat ramp and into Lake Texoma. Deputy Rickey Wheeler then jumped into the water detaining Johnson.
Deputy Ross was taken to Texoma Medical Center where he was treated and released. Johnson is now in the Grayson County Jail. He is facing several charges including aggravated assault on a public servant.
