A short police chase Tuesday evening led to the arrest of a husband and wife.
According to Austin Police Chief Bran Krueger, police were called at 7:52 p.m. on Tuesday about a man dancing in the street with a beer in his hand near one of the east side bars. An officer was heading in that direction when he allegedly saw a car going over 50 miles per hour in a 30 mile per hour zone going in the other direction.

The officer turned around and pursued the vehicle, which allegedly did not stop when the officer turned on the lights. After a short pursuit, which involved the vehicle running a stop sign, the vehicle pulled into a driveway at a residence in the 700 block of Fourth St. Northwest.
The vehicle’s driver, Ashley Edwin Herry, 36, of Austin, was arrested.
His wife, Lovelynn Huamoe Herry, 27, also of Austin, exited the residence and was arrested when police learned she had a warrant for misdemeanor disorderly conduct.
Both were taken to the Mower County Jail. Ashley Herry is facing possible charged of felony fleeing in a motor vehicle, DWI, speeding, failure to stop at a stop sign and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to Krueger.
