HOUSTON - A man who escaped custody and prompted a search earlier this week has been taken back into custody, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office says.

The incident began Monday evening when the sheriff’s office said units were called out to the 2300 block of Wigmaker Drive in reference to a terroristic threat call for service.

Officials said a deputy took Findley into custody for felony violation of a protective order/retaliation and took him to the Clay Road Substation, located at 16715 Clay Road.
