The suspect, Iziah Rodriguez, 25, was booked into the Tom Green County Detention Center Saturday and charged with Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle, Evading Arrest or Detention with a Vehicle, and Evading Arrest or Detention.

Randall King, meanwhile, has been doing his part for over half-a-decade. The Hereford, TX native unleashed Shot Glass, his major label debut, earlier this year, and, ya know, continued doing his part to save country music.
