Offensive lineman Chester Pitts is facing felony evading charges after he led Houston police on a brief chase on Thursday.  Pitts was pulled over after police say he made an illegal turn at Kirby and West Bellfort late yesterday afternoon.  Investigators say that when the officer walked away from his vehicle, Pitts left.  He was stopped again less than a mile away and taken into custody.   Pitts was a second round draft pick out of San Diego State in 2002, and is a starting left guard for the Texans.  He has never missed a game in franchise history.
