MARLIN, TX — The Falls County Sheriff's Office arrested a woman in her 30s Sunday after a domestic violence call led to a chase on Highway 6.

Deputies were called for a domestic violence call in the Reagan area around 12:30 p.m., according to Falls County Sheriff Ricky Scaman.

After the deputy arrived, Escobar took off heading north on HWY 6.

Deputies set up spikes near the sheriff’s office and the front two tires of the car were disabled.
