A Pampa man is in the Donley County Jail this week after leading officers on a high speed chase from Gray County last week.
Sheriff Butch Blackburn said Henry Lee Perryman, Jr., was facing three felony charges in Donley County as well as four additional charges in Gray County.
The sheriff said Perryman, age 42, fled from Pampa police the afternoon of April 13 after violating a court order in a domestic situation. The Gray County Sheriff’s Office alerted Blackburn’s department about the chase as Perryman fled on Hwy. 70 in a 2012 GMC Sierra. DPS also joined the pursuit, the sheriff said.
A Donley County deputy shot the pickup’s rear tires as Perryman fled south into Donley County on Hwy. 70. The suspect got turned around and headed back north, side-swiping a bystander’s vehicle and attempting to run over a Gray County officer. Soon after that additional gunfire from a Donley County officer brought Perryman’s vehicle to a stop.
Perryman was arraigned on local charges April 14 by Justice of the Peace Pam Mason for first degree felony Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, second degree felony Aggravated Assault Against a Public Servant, and third degree felony Evading Arrest with a Motor Vehicle, and total bond was set at $250,000.
Mason also arraigned Perryman on Gray County charges on April 15 for third degree felony Assault Causing Bodily Injury with a Previous Conviction, state jail felony Evading Arrest with a Motor Vehicle, and two counts of Class A Misdemeanor Violation of a Protection Order. Total bond on those charges was set at $25,000.
