According to a statement on social media, Hays County Sheriff’s Office “deputies responded around five a.m. [Wednesday morning] to the Woodcreek North subdivision for reports of a motor vehicle theft that just occurred, and developed suspects.”
At 8:13 a.m., the Sheriff’s Office issued an alert to residents, “Due to an ongoing law enforcement incident at 109 Oak Dr., the immediate area is under a shelter in place notice.
“Persons matching the description of the suspects were observed later on foot in the area of the Wimberley square at about 8:50 a.m.” Observers noted a large law enforcement presence on the square and the stone wall with the lettering, Wimberley, Texas was heavily damaged.
By 10 a.m. the shelter in place was lifted. “By continuing to work our investigative leads, it was determined that the subject detained earlier was the same subject in the light colored hoodie who changed out while being sought by our deputies and Precinct 3 Constable deputies - there are no outstanding suspects in the area,” the statement said. “The firearm the suspect was believed to be armed with was recovered, and there is no imminent danger to the public.”
Lieutenant Clint Pulpan of the Hays County Sheriff’s Office, confirmed to the Wimberley View on Friday that one of at least two suspects, has been apprehended.
