The Tuesday morning (Sept. 17) rush hour in Lubbock was briefly disrupted when one person was taken into custody on or near the Marsha Sharp Freeway.

At 7:30 a.m., KAMC News reports that Lubbock Police responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle at an America’s Best Value Inn, located at 4105 19th Street.

When officers arrived at the Inn, police say one person fled the vehicle and ran under a nearby bridge of the Marsha Sharp Freeway.

Police say the person then tried to flag down a vehicle but were unsuccessful. They were soon taken into custody by Lubbock officers.

The eastbound lanes of Marsha Sharp had to be shut down for a short time while police were investigating, which drastically slowed the morning rush hour in North Lubbock.
