A 39-year-old man is back in the Bexar County Jail after deputies said he managed to escape not long after his arrest.
Deputies arrested Alexander at a home in the 10000 block of Wildrose Bay in far West Bexar County on a misdemeanor theft charge.
He was waiting in the booking area of the jail for some time, but when deputies conducted a head count at 7:04 p.m., Alexander was nowhere to be found. After investigators reviewed surveillance footage, they noticed he joined a group of people being released from the jail and managed to escape. Hours later, at 10:12 p.m., Alexander was re-arrested by deputies and returned to the Bexar County Jail.
He’s charged with theft $100 to <$750, a Class B misdemeanor, and escape felony custody/correction facility, a third-degree felony.
