SAN ANTONIO — Two men suspected of robbing a Universal City shoe store led police on a high-speed chase before being taken into custody, authorities say. 

Windcrest police officers say the chase started when they noticed a car matching the suspects' vehicle description.  As officers arrived to the location, Anthony Jamal Ferguson and Hollis Alexander Richardson attempted to escape, with police in town. 

Ferguson fled in the vehicle down Walzem Road, police said, hitting multiple cars and jumping curbs through parking lots before crashing near a Dunkin Doughnuts where the vehicle caught fire. After the crash, Ferguson tried to flee on foot before being apprehended by a Windcrest K-9 officers. 

Officers say they later located Richardson in a nearby neighborhood, with the help of SAPD personnel. The two men were arrested and transported to a hospital to be evaluated for injuries. 

Ferguson and Richardson were booked into the Bexar County jail on charges of evading arrest and unauthorized use of a vehicle.
