Additional charges have been filed against two people charged with firing at a Hays County Sheriff’s Office vehicle during a high-speed chase from Dripping Springs to near Johnson City earlier this month.
Nathaniel Castro, 23, of El Paso and Klarissa Soto, 19, of Manchaca were taken into custody Feb. 9 following an all-night search near the intersection of U.S. 290 and U.S. 281. They had fled the car involved in the pursuit after it veered off the roadway and crashed. Castro was allegedly behind the wheel and Soto is allegedly the person who fired shots during the chase along U.S. 290 that at times exceeded 100 mph.
At the time of their arrest, each was charged with aggravated assault on a public servant and evading arrest. Castro was initially held on bonds totaling $2 million. Soto’s bonds totaled $1.5 million.
