FROM STAFF REPORTS
ROCKY DREW MCINTOSH
GALVESTON — Authorities have caught the fourth fugitive in the past two weeks with the latest suspect accused of injuring a police officer with a vehicle, according to reports.
Authorities say they captured 36-year-old Rocky Drew McIntosh after a 12:20 a.m. warrant dispatch Oct. 11 in Galveston.
McIntosh had been at-large since Sept. 21, when police reported he stole a 2005 GMC pickup in broad daylight from a convenience store in Kingsland.
A manhunt followed that included the suspect slamming his vehicle into a Sunrise Beach police chief’s patrol unit and injuring the officer while she was outside her car.
“We confirmed a warrant on McIntosh from law enforcement in the Galveston,” Llano County Chief Deputy John Neff said.
McIntosh faces a first-degree felony charge of aggravated assault on a public servant.
“At least all three of the guys that ran in that past several weeks are accounted for and in custody,” Neff said.
In two other reports:
• Edward Levi Adamson, 47, was in custody in Kerr County as of Oct. 2. Adamson was wanted out of Llano after he allegedly broke into an elderly couple’s Llano home Sept. 26, assaulted the woman and tied up the man. He faces a string of charges, including first-degree felony injury to an elderly person.
• Justin Friar, 25, was captured in Mason County on Oct. 8 after a nine-hour manhunt that spanned Mason, McCullough and Llano counties including searches on private property. Investigators tracked the suspect to Pontotoc, where he was seen getting into a pickup truck that was eventually stopped. He was then taken into custody. Friar was wanted on drug and burglary charges, police reported.
Also, authorities captured another suspect wanted after a Burnet County in-custody escape incident at a Cedar Park hospital Oct. 11. Murl Shane Lamb, 40, overpowered a corrections officer in the parking lot of Cedar Park Regional Medical Center, took the officer’s gun and fled. After a four-hour manhunt, Lamb was eventually found in a dumpster behind a Cedar Park movie theater, according to the Burnet County Sheriff’s Office.
Jail records show Lamb faces additional charges of first-degree felony aggravated assault on a public servant, taking a weapon from a public servant, escape (causing serious bodily harm)/threat with a deadly weapon for the alleged escape attempt.
Lamb remains in the Williamson County Jail with bonds totalling $1.1 million.
