NACOGDOCHES – A search for a wanted fugitive in Nacogdoches County has resulted in four arrests, including the fugitive.
It started with a tip that the fugitive, Travis Bailey, was staying at a residence on Highway 103 East in the Etoile area. Two men standing outside the residence gave officers permission to search the house. Inside, in plain view, was methamphetamine, according to authorities. They say they later found hidden in the house a large quantity of methamphetamine. Arrested were Ricky Eugen Sowell 28, of Woden, and Kevin Ray Rust, 35, of Gun Barrel City.
As they continued looking for the fugitive, they received information he was possibly hiding off County Road 888 in the Lilbert Community. When a woman would not permit them to search a house, they obtained a search warrant. They reportedly found Bailey hiding inside. The woman, Jennifer Mccreary, was charged with hindering apprehension and possession of marijuana.
