Texas murder suspect spotted in Daytona Beach, arrested

A Texas fugitive wanted on murder and other charges in a deadly Thanksgiving Day home invasion in El Paso was located in Daytona Beach thanks to License Plate Reader technology that alerted law enforcement to his stolen vehicle. Jason Gibson, 38 (DOB 10/24/1980), was arrested Tuesday afternoon shortly after he fled from a converging group of Daytona Beach and Holly Hill police officers, Volusia County sheriff's deputies and members of a U.S. Marshals fugitive task force. Gibson drove his car at a VCSO deputy and HHPD officer as he fled, later bailed out on foot and was taken into custody at a Daytona Beach office building. In addition to his out-of-state charges of homicide, aggravated assault, kidnapping, aggravated burglary, aggravated battery with great bodily harm and larceny, Gibson was charged locally with two counts of aggravated assault for driving at the two law enforcement officers as he attempted to get away.
