This podcast is a visit with Robert Hurst with the Texas department of criminal justice Robert Hurst and WTAW's Bill Oliver about the circumstances of a prison inmate who escaped in Leon County on May 12, 2022.
As the search continues for a state prison escapee in Leon County, the state prison system (TDCJ) has suspended visitation at 43 units until further notice. Social media from the department of criminal justice told those planning visits to contact the specific unit prior to traveling.
TDCJ has also announced a $15,000 dollar reward for information leading to the capture of Gonzalo Lopez. Anyone with information is asked to contact TDCJ OIG CRIME STOPPERS at 1-800-832-8477 or 936-437-5171 or your local law enforcement agency at 911. You can also leave a tip via the website at https://www.p3tips.com/TipForm.aspx?ID=911#English.
A second reward was announced by the Texas department of public safety. To be eligible for the $7,500 dollar reward, tipsters MUST provide information to authorities using one of the following three methods: (1) Call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-252-TIPS (8477), (2) Submit a web tip through the DPS website by selecting the fugitive you have information about and then clicking on the link under their picture, or (3) Submit a Facebook tip by clicking the “SUBMIT A TIP” link (under the “About” section).
The escapee stabbed a guard driving a prisoner transport bus on Highway 7 west of Centerville. Lopez also briefly got his hands on the driver's gun belt, but he never got the weapon.
From the TDCJ Facebook page, the TDCJ list of units where visitation has been suspended until further notice:
Region I: Byrd, Duncan, Ellis, Estelle, Ferguson, Goodman, Goree, Holliday, Huntsville, Lewis, Polunsky, Wainwright, and Wynne.
Region II: Beto, Boyd, Coffield, Cole, Hodge, Hutchins, Johnston, Michael, C. Moore, Powledge, Skyview, and Telford.
