Law enforcement officials from Harris County Sheriff’s Office, Precinct 4 Constables in Harris County and HPD are searching the area around Wilson and Atascocita Road for an escapee from a juvenile unit run by Harris County next to the State Jail. Details are minimal art this point except HPD has a helicopter in the air and Humble has a dog working in a swampy area near the landfill after FOX spotted footprints in the mud. A large perimeter was set up. Two suspects originally went over the fence around 7:45 pm but one was caught and advised law enforcement they were gang affiliated and were to be picked up for a ride to San Antonio.
At 9pm the search was called off and since this offender was in this unit as a condition of probation a warrant will be issued for escape.
