Dana Allen Williams 

PUBLIC RELEASE: Man Rams Citizen’s Vehicles and Patrol Cars at the Lynchburg Ferry Yesterday Before Attempting to Flee Deputies

On March 1, 2025, at approximately 12:05 p.m., the Harris County Precinct 8 Constable’s Office responded to a call regarding an aggressive driver near the Lynchburg Ferry located at 4406 Independence Parkway. The caller alleged the suspect vehicle was ramming other vehicles to force his way onto the ferry.

Upon arrival, deputies were directed by the ferry captain to a maroon Ford Expedition. Deputies attempted to contact the driver, who was later identified as Dana Allen Williams, a 50-year-old black male from Houston, who refused verbal commands and attempted to evade deputies by maneuvering his vehicle toward the ferry boat.

As deputies worked to contain the vehicle, Williams reversed into a marked patrol unit and subsequently drove over deployed stop sticks, boarding the ferry despite repeated commands to stop. Williams then reversed off the ferry, narrowly avoiding deputies and patrol vehicles, and continued southbound on Independence Parkway with multiple flat tires.

Deputies initiated a short pursuit, and Williams’ vehicle became disabled by extensive tire damage. The pursuit concluded in the 3500 block of Independence Parkway when Williams' vehicle came to a stop. Despite numerous commands to surrender, Williams remained noncompliant, revving the vehicle’s engine in an effort to flee, spinning his wheels and causing damage to the roadway.

Deputies were forced to breach the vehicle after Williams continued to refuse to exit. Following the deployment of a Taser, Williams was removed from the vehicle and was safely taken into custody. La Porte EMS provided medical evaluation on scene before Williams was transported to HCA Pasadena Hospital for further treatment.

A subsequent search of the vehicle resulted in the recovery of a loaded Taurus G2S 9mm handgun from the center console, along with a small plastic bag containing crack cocaine.

After consultation with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, the following charges were accepted against Dana Williams: Evading Arrest in a Motor Vehicle, Possession of a Controlled Substance, and Felon in Possession of a Firearm. He was booked into the Harris County Jail on these charges.

For unknown reasons, the charges filed on Williams were dismissed by the 248th Harris County District Court early this morning citing “No Probable Cause”.
