Police searched for a Texas man to question him about the death of his father, whose body was found in a garage, when they say he stabbed a K-9 officer. After evading capture for hours, Ryan Smith is in custody.

Houston police say Smith, 26, is considered a person of interest in his father’s death and had warned he should be considered a public threat given his recent actions over the past few days, including charges related to trying to steal a car and attacking the police dog.“Given his previous charge and what we’re looking at now, I think it goes without saying he has a tendency for violence,” Houston police Commander Kevin Deese said. “I would say he’s considered to be dangerous, certainly.

“The Ryan Smith that’s accused of these alleged incidents is not the Ryan Smith that his family and friends know and love,” Manginello said. “He had a history of mental issues that we believe manifested into a psychotic episode.” After disappearing in a wooded area in Houston following a police chase early Tuesday, authorities said Smith was located around 2 p.m. about 50 miles northwest of Houston, walking along a highway in Waller County. Police said a tip led authorities to Smith’s location. He is facing a charge of evading arrest.

It is the second such charge Smith is facing since police allege he attempted a carjacking Saturday morning. After fleeing the scene of the carjacking and allegedly stealing merchandise from a store, Smith went to a nearby apartment parking garage, according to police. Update: K9 Nate is out of surgery and resting well. Our thanks to everyone who has said prayers for his recovery today. And our deepest appreciation for the amazing staff at VERGI Animal Hospital.
