An Indiana man remains in custody following a Monday police chase that the Texas Department of Public Safety said was human smuggling related, jail records show. 

Hidalgo County jail records show Cesar Rafael Leon, 34, was booked on Tuesday on multiple charges of human smuggling, evading arrest and aggravated assault against a public servant. His bond was set at $170,000.

As previously reported, Leon was identified as the Indiana man behind the wheel of a Ford SUV that led Border Patrol agents and DPS troopers on a chase on Monday.

Video of the chase released by DPS shows Leon driving the wrong way on the expressway during the chase.
