ALVIN, Texas — A suspect was taken into custody Thursday after a nearly 50-mile motorcycle chase and a 6-hour-long police standoff at a home near Alvin.

The Brazoria County Sheriff's Office has since identified the suspect as 34-year-old Reese Crisp of Santa Fe, Texas.

Aerial views from Air 11 showed the person parking the motorcycle outside a home on Parker-Davis School Road outside of Alvin near FM 1462.
