Tom Green County Sheriff’s Deputies responded and located Hill, who got into a truck and barricaded himself inside. Eventually, Hill was taken into custody. A deputy personally identified the escapee as Hill.

Hill was taken back to the Tom Green County Detention Facility and is being held on $535,000 bond for evading arrest, assaulting a family or household member, and escaping white confined.
