HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — A man who deputies say was on the run since Monday after escaping custody was arrested Wednesday in Katy.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office confirms to KHOU 11 that 20-year-old Braden Findley was found at a Hampton Inn along I-10 and Mason Road at around 11:30 a.m. At this point, we don't know how deputies found him or if there were any other arrests.
Findley managed to get away from a Harris County Sheriff's Office facility Monday afternoon. Officials said he slipped out of his handcuffs and ran away from a substation on Clay Road around 5 p.m.
Findley had been in custody for allegedly violating a protective order against his ex-girlfriend. He faces charges ranging from aggravated assault to retaliation against his ex-girlfriend, according to court documents. Findley is also accused of threatening her with a screwdriver and threatening to kill her if she reported him.
Findley had last been seen running toward a wooded area. While he was on the run, multiple law enforcement agencies joined the search. Authorities said they used a helicopter, drone, K-9 officers and infrared cameras to try to find him.
