Brando Burgos, 19, of 1608 Fourth St. in Perry was arrested by Perry Police on charges of second-degree theft and eluding and on a Dallas County warrant for failure to appear on original charges of public intoxication and disorderly conduct.

A Perry teenager was arrested by officers of the Perry Police Department Sunday about 5:30 p.m. after allegedly stealing a vehicle and then leading law enforcement on a brief chase before he was taken into custody.

Brando Burgos, 19, of 1608 Fourth St. in Perry was arrested by Perry Police on charges of second-degree theft and eluding and on a Dallas County warrant for failure to appear on original charges of public intoxication and disorderly conduct.

The incident began when an officer of the Perry Police Department attempted to make a traffic stop in the 400 block of First Avenue on a vehicle reported stolen. The suspect attempted to elude law enforcement by driving eastward on Center Street.

After a brief pursuit, the vehicle Burgos was driving was stopped in the 1200 block of Ann Street, where he was arrested.

Burgos is being held in the Dallas County Jail on $7,290 bond. He is scheduled to make an initial appearance in Dallas County Magistrate Court Monday at 9 a.m.

In October Burgos was arrested by Perry Police on charges of public intoxication and disorderly conduct. An arrest warrant was issued Nov. 20 after he failed to appear for a hearing in Dallas County District Court.

Burgos is awaiting sentencing Nov. 30 after pleading guilty to a charge of first-offense possession of marijuana stemming from an arrest by Perry Police in April. He pleaded guilty in August in Polk County District Court for failure to disperse.
