Son Of ‘Street Outlaws’ Star Barefoot Pace ‘In Custody’ Now Facing 20 Years Over TX Street Racing Crash

HOUSTON, TX. (THECOUNT) — Ronald Gray Pace III, son of Ronnie “Barefoot” Pace, who stars on Discovery Channel series “Street Outlaws,” has been charged with two counts of street racing causing serious bodily injury following a crash that seriously injured two people March 17 in northwest Harris County.

On April 16, Houston Police Department confirmed that Pace III has been charged with two counts of racing causing serious bodily injury. He turned himself in at court Wednesday morning.

The crash occurred in a business park in the 10111 block of Houston Oaks, reports say. A video captured during the crash shows a vehicle collide with a parked truck. A second car can then be seen driving speeding by.

“If you are participating in a race and someone dies or gets seriously hurt, that is a second-degree felony. Period. You don’t have to be the striking car. Mr. Pace was the striking car. The other individual was not, but he will be facing the same penalty range,” said Harris County Assistant District Attorney Sean Teare.

“In this day and age, video is our greatest friend and the sheriff’s department was able to obtain a lot of video in this case, which helped,” Teare continued.

The sheriff’s office said it is still working to catch the other driver, who is also expected to be also be charged.

If convicted of the charges, Pace could face two to 20 years behind bars, reports TheBentonLawfirm.\\DEVELOPING::
