Authorities say the uniformed 24-year-old law enforcement officer was arrested after driving a Ford Mustang that was part of a parking lot takeover that later turned into a freeway race at dangerous speeds.

The 24-year-old was first spotted leaving a parking lot in the 15900 block of Old Humble Road in the northeast county, where many vehicles participated in the takeover.

HCSO units stopped the vehicles, and Rojas was detained and charged with racing on a highway. The sheriff's office didn't disclose the other driver's fate.The sheriff's office added that Precinct 4 command staff was notified of the incident and responded to Rojas' detainment.
