Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office searching for 'armed and dangerous' suspect last seen near Martindale
The Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office is searching for a suspect last seen near Martindale who it described as “armed and dangerous.”
A Caldwell County Precinct 1 Deputy Constable stopped a vehicle on FM 110 in Hays County that ran a red light on State Highway 80 north of Martindale at approximately 11:53 a.m. on Wednesday, CCSO said. The driver, later identified as Edward James Guidry, 51, fled on foot from the vehicle during the traffic stop and moved south in a wooded area toward Martindale, officials added.
The Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office said Guidry is wanted out of Oklahoma and is considered “armed and dangerous.” Officials said Guidry is known to have mental issues and has pointed a firearm at law enforcement in the past.
CCSO added that Guidry has former family connections in Martindale and has a lifetime protective order issued for that family. Officials believe he is trying to make it to that area for unknown reasons.
Guidry was confirmed to still be in the Martindale area on Wednesday at approximately 9 p.m., CCSO said. He is described as 5-foot-8 and bald. Guidry was last seen wearing dark colored sweatpants and a white T-shirt. He was also seen carrying a large black luggage bag. Officials said he is known for wearing a towel draped over his head.
Officials ask for residents to lookout for Guidry and call 911 if anything out of the ordinary is seen.
