A car ran into Riprocks, a Denton bar near the University of North Texas, this evening around 9:00 PM. According to a video on Twitter, the person ran away from the police after their car hit the fence at Rip Rocks.

Police say that no one was injured. 

"I was outside Midway Crafthouse and here comes this car speeding down Hickory in the wrong direction followed by at least five cop cars, all going the wrong way," Sarah Hassell, an employee at Midway Crafthouse said. 

According to a Tweet sent out by the North Texas Daily, Denton PD confirmed that this was a pursuit that started in Lake Dallas and ended with a chase on foot through the Fry Street area. Police have arrested the driver who ripped his car into the bar. 

Lake Dallas police have identified the suspect as Bradford James Loomis, Jr.
