Police ID man arrested after chase with officers, crash in west Lubbock
Police on Monday identified a 21-year-old man accused of leading officers on a chase that ended in a crash with another vehicle early Saturday in west Lubbock. The chase began after a Lubbock police officer reportedly saw a Lincoln Town Car driving recklessly around 3:11 a.m. in the 5800 block of 19th Street and attempted to make a traffic stop, according to a statement from LPD. The driver of the vehicle, 21-year-old Diego Castillo, is accused of fleeing from the scene, prompting the pursuing. The vehicle was traveling south in the 4500 block of West Loop 289 and exited at the Marsha Sharp Freeway, where it attempted to pass a pickup truck that was in front of it. However, the car collided with the truck. Police say Castillo attempted to flee on foot, but was arrested a short time later. He was taken to the Lubbock County Detention Center. He faces charges of reckless driving, evading in a vehicle, evading on foot, possession of marijuana, failure to ID and failure to stop and render aid, along with an unrelated warrant. Jail records indicate Castillo was no longer in the detention center as of Monday. The driver of the pickup suffered minor injuries. The incident remains under investigation.

One streaming fan has shared seven gripping TV crime thrillers that are a must watch for all fans of the genre - and they are all on Netflix and Disney Plus Fed up with endlessly scrolling through Netflix and Disney Plus only to find yourself indecisive about what to watch next? It can become a tedious task to choose your next binge-worthy series, but it helps when other people share their recommendations. Should you be on the prowl for some riveting new crime thrillers for your watchlist, you're in luck. A TV fan has uncovered seven series they think fellow crime thriller fans 'need to watch'. And some of them are the 'best' people have seen. Fi, a content creator from Manchester, through her @apartmentintheclouds TikTok account, has shared her top seven recommendations. She started with The Lincoln Lawyer from Netflix, an outstanding US legal drama adapted from Michael Connelly's books. The plot weaves around defence solicitor Mickey Haller, essayed by Manuel Garca-Rulfo, who operates his practice from the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car covering Los Angeles. Fi gushed: "Absolutely loved this show! Great cast and good story lines." Fi also suggested trying Under the Bridge, a hard-hitting crime drama inspired by Rebecca Godfrey's 2005 book on a harrowing true story. The series tackles the mystery of 14-year-old Reena Virk who disappeared post attending a party in 1997. The show, which is streaming on Disney Plus, delves into the secret world of the young girls who were accused of the murder. Fi said: "Based on a true event, acting 10/10, quite serious." Castle, available to stream on Disney Plus, is a crime series about charismatic novelist Rick Castle (played by Nathan Fillion) who joins forces with NYPD detective Kate Beckett (portrayed by Stana Katic) to crack murder cases. Together, they navigate a realm of homicide with growing camaraderie. Fi enthused: "Such a good show, loads of seasons, light-hearted at times, if you like police mystery drama you'll love this!". Scandal, which is available on Disney Plus, follows Olivia Pope, a former media consultant to the president. She opens her own crisis-management firm after leaving the White House. On her first day she has to deal with an accusation against the president. Fi said: "I am OBSESSED with this show, seen it so many times. If you like political drama murder mystery, definitely watch this!" The People v OJ Simpson: American Crime story revolves around the OJ Simpson murder trial, including the legal teams' battle to convict or acquit the American football legend. The drama series is based on the book The Run Of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson by Jeffrey Toobin, which looks at the behind-the-scenes dealings of both sides of the case, which he was found not guilty of in 1995. It stars Cuba Gooding Jr as OJ Simpson, John Travolta as defence attorney Robert Shapiro, David Schwimmer as defence attorney Robert Kardashian, Sarah Paulson as prosecutor Marcia Clark and Courtney B Vance as Johnnie Cochran. Fi said: "Based on true events, really enjoyed this!" How to Get Away with Murder on Disney Plus stars Viola Davis as Professor Annalise Keating, who gets entangled with four law students from her class. They get involved in a complex murder plot. Fi said: "LOVE this show. Viola Davis is incredible, great murder mystery, have watched this so many times!" Lastly, Fi recommended Dexter, which follows Dexter Morgan, a forensics expert who leads a secret life as a serial killer who only targets murderers. About the show, which is streaming on Netflix, Fi said: "A classic, creepy, weird, lots of drama. Always a 10/10 for me."

Auto review: 2025 Lincoln Navigator is definitive American luxury
While the 2025 Lincoln Navigator' sales trails the top-selling Cadillac Escalade, it was the 1998 Lincoln Navigator that revived the idea of a full-size, body-on-frame luxury SUV, a segment pioneered by the 1966 Jeep Super Wagoneer. And for 2025, the Lincoln Navigator continues to live large in a way that recalls the Lincoln Town Car. Oops. There, I said it. The phrase that makes Lincoln executives' eyes roll. And yet, the 2025 Lincoln Navigator fulfills much the same role. Both are unapologetically sizable, body-on-frame luxury vehicles with a healthy dose of chrome flashiness and outsized extravagance. And the Navigator, like the Town Car, benefits from being comfortable in its own skin. It's above hip and trendy, reveling in a knowing American opulence. Yet this is not just some retro ride. It boasts a 48-inch dashtop screen as big as the bank account it takes to buy the rig. The screen contains everything you'd expect, including an instrument cluster, infotainment system and a passenger-side screen filled with options. It's placed up high, so it's unmissable while driving. But it's controlled by a secondary, center-mounted touchscreen located low on the instrument panel. So changing functions requires looking away from the road, something the large screen was meant to address. Adjusting mirrors or a tilt steering wheel requires accessing on-screen buttons rather than physical controls, which some may find frustrating. And information density is sparse on the right side of the screen, considering how much real estate it inhabits. But you can play video and gaming apps to either side of the large display when the vehicle is parked. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 5G Wi-Fi hotspot, Amazon Alexa, Google Maps and a 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3-D audio system come standard. And there are more than a dozen USB-C ports, so staying connected is easy. Opting for the top-of-the-line ensures opulence, with 30-way-adjustable front seats, second-row captain's chairs with heating, ventilation and massage, along with wireless charging pads and third-row seat heaters. Actually, it's hard to overstate how nicely trimmed this cabin is, particularly for an American luxury car. Yes, there's the expected wood and leather, but beautifully muted and exuding understated opulence. Then there's Lincoln Rejuvenate, a new option meant to soothe frazzled nerves while the vehicle is parked. When activated, the steering wheel moves up and out of the way and the driver's seat reclines and warms. As the seat massager comes on, the screens fill with soothing visuals, the ambient light turns to soothing tones, calming melodies and subtle aromas fill the air. But the cabin's goodness is contained in a slab-sided wrapper that's recognizably Lincoln. There's a healthy dose of chrome trim and a large if somewhat generic grille. Its horizontal taillights are a modern update on classic Lincoln lighting. The rear gets a split tailgate, the top part flipping up and the bottom portion dropping down, a la Range Rover. And at night, the large Lincoln star illuminates up front, ensuring everyone knows that you're piloting a truly extravagant mobile family room. But regardless of how much you spend, there's only one powertrain, whether you opt for the standard Navigator or the stretched Navigator L. Carried over from the previous model along with its platform, a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 and 10-speed automatic transmission generate 440 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. It's EPA-rated at 17 mpg, and premium fuel is required. All-wheel-drive and an adaptive suspension with continuously controlled damping are standard. Towing is rated at 8,700 pounds with the optional heavy-duty tow package. Also available are trailer hitch assist and pro trailer backup assist, which make trailering so much easier. Despite measuring 210 inches long and tipping the scales at more than three tons, the 2025 Lincoln Navigator manages to drive smaller than you might suppose. OK, there's no hiding its avoirdupois while cornering, although there's less wallowing than you'd expect, thanks to the suspension. There are foreign competitors that offer sportier handling in similar dimensions, but it's like trying to get an elephant to moonwalk. That's why the 2025 Lincoln Navigator remains something special. It doesn't try to. It proves powerfully quick, but remains incredibly quiet, comfortable and controllable. It has an easy self-assurance. The 2025 Lincoln Navigator doesn't try to be something that it isn't. And in an age when it seems you can't trust anyone or anything, It's good to be able to trust your Lincoln. That's true luxury. 2025 Lincoln Navigator Base price: $102,190-$119,190 (including destination charge) Engine: 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 Horsepower/Torque: 440/510 pound-feet EPA rating (combined city/highway): 17 mpg Fuel required: Premium unleaded Length/Width/Height: 210/80/78 inches Ground clearance: 8.9 inches Payload: 1,696 pounds Cargo capacity: 22-107 cubic feet Towing capacity: 8,700 pounds Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
