A suspected carjacker led police on an hour-long run after Thursday earlier than crashing through a locked chain-link fence and driving across runways at Dallas Love Field, for the moment halting flights, authorities thought.

The afternoon chase ended when police surrounded and rammed a pickup truck next to a busy runway, pulled the shirtless driver from the cab and placed him in chains. Operation on both major runways was stopped from about 3:20 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., said Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen. One arriving flight had to make a 2nd approach, and all departure was held on the ground until the chase was over.

The chase began when an in secret police officer marked a truck that had been reported stolen a day earlier in Fort Worth, Deputy Chief Jesse Reyes said.

Television footage showed police appear to patiently pursue the slow-moving pickup from expressways to side streets until it drove through the airport fence, along the airport taxiways and past one end of its busiest runway.

Reyes said that once the chase was on a runway "police were prepared to use deadly force." Instead, a patrol car rammed the truck, disable the vehicle.

Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway, chairman of the City Council Public Safety Committee, said he was worried that the subject of an apparently routine police chase was able to get onto airport grounds so easily.

I think that the whole game changed when he broken up on the runways and endangered multiple lives, Caraway said. I believe it means safety is something we have to take a look at that airport. I will absolutely be bringing that to the committee and we will post something immediately on our agenda.

Asked about what the safety breach said about Love Field security, Reyes said, everything is under review. He also said the gate the man crashed through met present standards.

The driver was a think in several offenses in both Dallas and Fort Worth, as well as a carjacking and robberies, Reyes said.

Reyes said the man, whose identity has not been released, complained of chest pains after his arrest and was taken to a hospital. He would not be charged until he is released from the hospital, Reyes said.

Since Dallas police arrested the man on federal property, the FBI possible will send the police report to the U.S. attorney's office and let federal prosecutors make a decision how to proceed, said FBI spokesman Mark White.

"We're all kind of looking at it trying to figure out just accurately what is happening here," White said.
