As the vehicle continued traveling at a high rate of speed, the suspects could be seen throwing items out of the passenger window. The vehicle then circled back around, heading toward the square at the Kaufman County Court House, where the occupants were taken into custody without anyone being injured.
Arrested were Carl Lynn Fulton Jr., 28, of Euless and Joseph Shane Icenhower, 22 of Sulphur Springs. Officers were able to recover most of the illegal property thrown out of the vehicle during the chase. Over $720 in cash, a brown paper bag containing clear plastic baggies with a set of digital scales, three cell phones, 15 grams of what is believed to be methamphetamine and several pills believed to be Xanex.
