Sheriff Schmerber stated that US Border Patrol agents advised deputies on patrol they had come across a white Ford Escape on US Highway 57 in an area known for illegal activity.
Deputies responded to the scene and contact was made with thirty-four-year-old Shawn McGinnis, Jr., whose background check revealed several active warrants for his arrest out of Tom Green County.
A check on the vehicle in which Mr. McGinnis was travelling in revealed it reported stolen out of San Angelo, Texas. He was placed under arrest and transported to the Tom Bowles Detention Center for processing.
