Lyon County, Texas – Deputies with the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office are actively looking for Tracy Conrad Smith, a 30‑something male who escaped law‑enforcement Thursday morning after deputies attempted to serve a warrant.
Warrant execution and suspect flight
Smith was the focus of the department’s “Warrant Wednesday” program, a weekly effort to locate individuals with outstanding warrants. Officers arrived at Smith’s last known residence on Badger Street and observed him inside the home. When deputies entered, Smith fled on foot and managed to evade capture.
Four occupants of the residence were detained while deputies continued their search for the suspect. The individuals were later released after questioning, and no charges were filed against them.
Search warrant uncovers illegal items
Detectives obtained a search warrant for the Badger Street property. Inside, they discovered a cache of illegal items: narcotics, drug paraphernalia, burglary tools and several pieces of suspected stolen property. Among the recovered items were a flatbed trailer, a side‑by‑side utility vehicle and a tractor, all believed to have been taken without the owners’ consent.
The seizure of these items underscores the department’s commitment to protecting private property and curbing illegal activity in the community.
