Investigators were looking for Rudolfo Nuncio, Jr. in connection with her abduction. Authorities identified him as Priscilla's uncle.
Tuesday morning, a US Marshal apparently spotted the suspect's vehicle at a truck stop. Authorities tried to make contact, but as they got close, Nuncio reportedly fled, leading authorities on a pursuit.
Just outside of Shepherd, Nuncio crashed into an unoccupied DPS Trooper's patrol car. A number of agencies were involved in the pursuit.
Authorities say Priscilla was in the vehicle at the time. No injuries were reported. Both she and Nuncio are currently in custody.
