Authorities captured a Kilgore man who escaped a Gregg County deputy's custody after finding him hiding Friday morning in a bed at a girlfriend's Longview residence.
Michael Dantae Fagan, 31, has been charged with escape and possession of a controlled substance. Gregg County Sheriff's Lt. Mike Claxton said Fagan also might be charged with evading arrest.
Investigators searching the residence found Fagan hiding between a mattress and box springs in a bedroom.
A team of U.S. marshals, Gregg County deputies and Longview police, responding to a lead from their investigation, converged on a residence in the 600 block of Electra Street at about 11 a.m.
The search for Fegan has cost local taxpayers and the state thousands of dollars. At least 35 law enforcement officers and more than 20 vehicles from state and local agencies participated in two search efforts in Liberty City on Wednesday, said Lt. Mike Claxton. Tracking dogs aided in the searches, and a Texas Department of Public Safety helicopter flew above the search area for several hours during the day
Fagan's bond was set at a total of $105,000
