WHITE SETTLEMENT, Texas - White Settlement police arrested a convicted felon and kidnapping suspect after a chase that ended in a crash in Fort Worth.
It all started with a 911 call on Friday that came from inside the Walmart store in Westworth Village.
The woman told a dispatcher that she had been kidnapped. She claimed the suspect was in a white van with Wisconsin plates in the parking lot.
As officers arrived at the store, they saw a white van matching that description take off.
White Settlement police officers spotted the van at a red light on Highway 183 and activated their lights and sirens. The suspect sped off, sparking a chase.
Police say Reginald Jameson, 52, drove through two red lights and crashed into a van and a pickup truck at the intersection of Camp Bowie Boulevard and Alta Mere Drive in Fort Worth.

But the chase didn’t end there.
"That didn’t stop him, of course, because he doesn’t care what he’s doing. He’s trying to get away. He gets out of the van after the crash, starts running on foot," recalled White Settlement Police Officer Chris Cook. "He ran through some restaurants. Ends up crossing back across Camp Bowie Boulevard then tried to get into another business scaling a fence."
Body camera video shows an officer stunning Jameson as two other officers arrived to help cuff him and take him into custody.
"Just grateful that our officers were in the right place at the right time and that he was not able to get away," Cook said. "Because that was his plan: to get as far away. Once he realized the woman had been able to get out of his van, he was gonna try to get out of here."
Chief Cook said the woman who was kidnapped appeared to be okay. She said she’d been held against her will since Sunday.
A mom and her children were in the van hit at the red light, but they were not seriously hurt.
Jameson has a lengthy criminal record and was wanted for a family violence case in Wisconsin.
Jameson was booked into the Tarrant County jail. He now faces several new charges, including kidnapping, evading arrest and assault family violence.
