Red River County, Texas – In a swift display of inter‑agency cooperation, local deputies captured an armed suspect early Tuesday evening after a pursuit that began in neighboring McCurtain County. The operation underscores the dedication of Texas law‑enforcement to protect families and uphold community safety.
Coordinated chase across county lines
According to a Facebook post from the McCurtain County Sheriff’s Office, Captain Alvin Moss and Sergeant Blake Helton initiated the pursuit when a stolen truck fled Wright City. The vehicle, driven by 36‑year‑old Logan Cox, was tracked as it crossed into Red River County.
Deputies from both counties, joined by Texas State Troopers and Texas Game Wardens, followed the suspect into a pine thicket where Cox abandoned the truck. He fled on foot, running roughly four miles south of the Highway 37 bridge.
Apprehension on Highway 37
At approximately 7:30 p.m., Red River County deputies, working side‑by‑side with their McCurtain County counterparts, located and apprehended Cox on Highway 37, just north of the spot where the stolen truck was left. The suspect was taken into custody without further incident.
The McCurtain County Sheriff’s Office publicly thanked the Red River County Sheriff’s Office, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and Texas Game Wardens for their rapid response and teamwork. Their combined effort prevented a potentially dangerous situation from escalating and ensured the safety of residents in the surrounding rural communities.
Community reassurance
Local leaders emphasized that the successful resolution of the manhunt reflects the strong, faith‑based values that bind the region’s families and neighbors. By acting decisively, law‑enforcement agencies demonstrated their commitment to safeguarding the everyday lives of Texans, reinforcing the principle that a safe community is the foundation of a thriving family environment.
Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to their local sheriff’s office. The swift capture of Logan Cox serves as a reminder that when citizens and authorities work together, the rule of law prevails.
