Description
William E. Junell, Associate Justice This appeal arises from a conviction for theft of an automobile. The jury found appellant guilty of the offense and assessed punishment at five years imprisonment. We affirm. On February 19, 1982, at approximately 10:30 p.m., David Lee Kaiser, the complaint, was driving a van owned by his employer. Kaiser testified he had just left a restaurant on Writ Road in Harris County. After he drove approximately two blocks, someone placed a wire around his neck and pulled his head to the back of the seat. Kaiser slammed on the brakes, and after a violent struggle, was able to escape the appellant's grasp and jump from the van. The assailant, later identified as appellant, commandeered the van and proceeded north on Wirt Road. Several police cars pursued appellant in a high speed chase as he drove north on U.S. Highway 59. Appellant ran two police cars and several other vehicles off the roadway. the chase ended near Cleveland, Texas, about twenty-five miles from Houston, after an officer shot out a tire on the van. Several officers attempted to apprehend appellant as he exited the van. A struggle ensued and appellant received a gunshot wound in his back when an officer's gun accidentally discharged.
