The Polk County Sheriff’s Office has successfully apprehended 61-year-old Tracy Henderson Allen of Livingston, Texas. Allen was being sought by law enforcement on an outstanding warrant for Evading Arrest. His arrest followed a brief vehicle pursuit and an extensive search operation.
On the afternoon of August 29, 2024, a Polk County Sheriff's Corporal was patrolling the FM 350 North area in a marked patrol vehicle when he identified Allen operating a motorcycle. Recognizing Allen, the Corporal activated his emergency lights in an attempt to conduct a traffic stop. However, Allen attempted to evade the stop, leading deputies on a brief pursuit. The chase ended when Allen drove up a private gravel driveway, lost control of his motorcycle, and crashed into a small creek.
The Corporal then initiated a foot pursuit as Allen fled into a heavily wooded area. In response, additional units from the Department of Public Safety (DPS), Texas Game Wardens, and the Livingston Police Department joined the search efforts.
Following a coordinated search, Allen was located and apprehended in the wooded area without further incident. He was arrested for the outstanding Evading Arrest warrant and now faces an additional felony charge of Evading Arrest with a vehicle.
