RUNNELS COUNTY, Texas — Runnels County residents can rest easier Wednesday morning after a man who was running from the Runnels County Sheriff's Office has been caught.
"The wanted subject running loose in Ballinger has been captured," the RCSO said on social media around midnight.
A Nixle alert to residents was sent from the Ballinger Police Department at 3:48 p.m. Tuesday that said, "Wanted Subject on the run currently in Ballinger. call 911 if you see him."
An update from both departments said the man was last seen at 12th and Sealy streets.
The BPD advised the case belonged to Runnels County and said it was to pass along the information to help capture the man.
RCSO said, "The BOLO put out by the Ballinger PD is for this man. He is wanted on parole warrants for fleeing and escape. Seems like a career for this guy."
The man was not listed in the Runnels County Jail roster as of 8 a.m. Wednesday because he had not yet been booked in, the jail said.
We'll update you with any information we receive later in the day.
