The driver of the vehicle, identified as 31-year-old Romualdo Cabrera-Osorio, attempted to evade the troopers. He drove through a fence into a local property before abandoning his vehicle and attempting to flee on foot.

Troopers would apprehend Cabrera-Osorio with the assistance of the Tom Green County Sheriff’s Department and the San Angelo Police Department using K9 tracking dogs and small unmanned aircraft systems to locate and take him into custody without incident.

Cabrera-Osorio is an undocumented immigrant who is illegally in the U.S. He also had an active warrant out of Travis County County for aggravated kidnapping, and the Ford F-350 he was driving was confirmed as being stolen out of New Braunfels.

Cabrera-Osorio was transported to the Tom Green County Jail and booked on charges of aggravated kidnapping for ransom/reward, unauthorized use of vehicle, evading arrest detention with vehicle or watercraft and a miscellaneous ICE hold.
