Update: Armed Stand Off Ends in Arrest of Wanted Fugitive

 

SAN ANGELO, TX — At 3:16 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 15, deputies with the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office were serving felony arrest warrants in the 700 Block of Cactus Lane. 

Deputies entered a trailer house in which the suspect, who the Sheriff identified as Dusty Lee Large, was believed to be occupying. As the deputies made entrance, the Large brandished a firearm in a threatening manner toward the deputies.  

In response to the threat, one deputy discharged a firearm toward the suspect who retreated further into the home and barricaded himself in the residence. 

A standoff ensued in which the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office, Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Parks and Wildlife, Texas Rangers, and the San Angelo Police Department established a perimeter and initiated negotiations with the suspect. 

Neighbors in the area were asked to evacuate for safety. The suspect was observed several times in the standoff to be in possession of what law enforcement officers thought to be a firearm. 

After initial negotiations between the suspect and TGSO and DPS negotiators, the SAPD SWAT team assumed the lead in the negotiations which lasted approximately a total of three hours and thirty-nine minutes. 

At approximately 6:55 p.m., the suspect walked out of the residence and was taken into custody without further incident.

Lived there for 10 years. Current owners are lowlifes and do not care for the property. Manager is a lowlife who condones this behavior. That's why we left.
