SCOOP: The suspect arrested for murdering off-duty deputy at Austin’s North Lamar nightclub is Thomas Vences — a repeat offender with four active felony warrants and 32 charges.
Vences was already a wanted fugitive when he allegedly shot Caldwell County Deputy Aaron Armstrong, who was working security at Club Rodeo early Sunday.
Vences’s 20-year record with Austin prosecutors:
• 38 total charges (including 6 today)
• 8 vehicle burglaries
• 2 home burglaries
• 2 felony family violence assaults
• 2 felony evading arrests with a vehicle (both reduced)
• 3 felonies reduced to misdemeanors
• 20 plea deals
• Every probation revoked
• 0 jury trials
Vences had been on the run since June after skipping court on a second-degree felony home burglary, two family violence cases, and a criminal trespass — all while already on probation for a prior home burglary.
U.S. Marshals arrested him Sunday afternoon with help from APD and DPS.
Thomas Vences cycled through Austin's courts for two decades. He exposed his violence again and again. Walked out every time.
He’s been charged with capital murder of a peace officer and is being held on a $2,500 bond.
Prosecutors had 32 chances to stop him.
Now a deputy is dead.

A police officer fights back tears as he recalls placing a teddy bear alongside the body of a child in a body bag — a small act of humanity in an unthinkable moment. Behind every badge is a heart carrying the weight of every call. 💙

Prayers for a full recovery for the Trooper, who's vehicle was struck head-on yesterday morning.🙏🏻
Several people, including a Trooper, were involved in a dead-on collision Monday in Sullivan County.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) reported that one of its Troop B officers was driving west in his patrol vehicle on Route 6 near Green City.
Around 7:20 a.m., an eastbound 2006 Toyota Tundra carrying six people from Milan, Mo., crossed the center line and struck the Trooper head-on.
The Toyota overturned and came to a rest on its side in the roadway, while the patrol vehicle went off the left side of the road.
The 28-year-old male Trooper from Macon, Mo., sustained serious injuries in the crash and was taken to Northeast Medical Center for treatment.

BREAKING: Following the inauguration of Seattle’s newly-elected Social Mayor Katie Wilson, Seattle police has been ordered to stop making arrests for open-air drug use.
This is the current scene in Seattle, close to Lumen Field, where the World Cup is set to take place.
Open-air drug use is running rampant, with no police intervention. Is this how America wants to be perceived to the world?

Given who the new mayor of New York is and that the police commissioner serves at the Commie’s pleasure, don’t be surprised if this accommodation is granted, which will be another nail in the coffin for the great NYPD and America’s Finest.
