Suspect flees assault scene at Holly Lake

On February 15th, Corporal Jacob Richardson of the Wood County Sheriff’s Department responded to an assault report at Holly Lake Ranch. Donald Chad Massey had driven through the security gate and assaulted his wife and young son. Earlier in the day, Massey had had an accident in Tyler and fled the scene. Massey tried to run over Officer Clyde Baldwin, a Holly Lake security guard, and rammed Baldwin’s patrol vehicle.
 

Massey once again fled the scene. Mineola Police Officer Josh Banta located the vehicle on Highway 80 and a pursuit was initiated. Massey was stopped in Van Zandt County on Highway 80 just west of Wills Point. Massey was arrested for evading arrest with a motor vehicle and booked at the Van Zandt County Jail.
