Law enforcement officials in Texas have announced the arrest of fugitive Frank Macias in the city of Corrigan. Macias fled a pending court date in relation to a brutal attack on a gay couple in Austin in January 2019.
Macias has previously confessed to the crime and had a court date for a bond hearing set earlier this fall. He officially became a fugitive when he failed to appear in court. Now location TV Station KXAN reports that following his disappearance, Macias took to social media to post threatening comments about the District Attorney and law enforcement officials. That prompted the involvement of the Austin Police Department, as well as the Travis County District Attorney’s Office, and the U.S. Marshals Lone Star Fugitive Task Force.

Now the three agencies have announced the apprehension of Macias, 23, in Corrigan, a city in East Texas.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Macias will face two counts of felony aggravated assault in relation to the attack on Spencer Deehring and Tristan Perry, a gay couple. Macias, along with three other men, attacked the couple as they exited a bar in January 2019, beating Deehring unconscious and breaking Perry’s nose. Both men required hospitalization after a bystander called 911.
Macias is currently being held in a Polk County jail on a $150,000 bond. We hope he stays there for a very, very long time.

Glad they caught this vile creep. Now try him, convict him and lock him away to keep him off the street!

The only reason they went after him was he threatened the district attorney. If it was beating up 2 queers, they didn’t care.

Well if it were totally up to the Democrats more and more people like him will be allowed over the border !

I saw no mention of Macias’ origin. We have thugs native-born in the USA. Don’t be afraid of immigrants; they are here already, doing all the jobs you wouldn’t.

You are not only a racist but a supid one at that. No one mentioned where he was from but like all stupid gop racists you just jump to that place.For all you know he could be 6 generation. go to some conspiracy tin hat web site to spread your hate

Notice how the racist Republican troll assumes that any Latino in America must be an illegal?
It’s nice of you Republicans to keep making your racism so obvious.

O.K. guys, in all fairness, you can be this stupid and still not be a Republican. I know that’s hard for some of you to fathom, but it is true.

What a stupid comment. Typical half witted nonsense. Took a lot of effort to write a comment worthy of a simple person.
Shouldn’t you be reading Trump’s tweets and sending money?! Lol

Well a couple of notes here. Tish…1 politics really. ?. Also let’s be pleased with the arrest and not complain about nuances. For the naysayers of Queerty here is a real article about real gay people, no comments? The world is not a kind, safe space. I never go out alone and always carry my tazer. At home I am armed. Kudos for law and order making this arrest.

I’m confused. He missed a bond hearing? I thought you were kept in custody until you had a bond hearing and posted bond.

Unfortunately this thug will come out of prison more dangerous than ever.

They let him out for attacking the gay couple, the got him after he threatened law enforcement.

I’m sure the guy was American-born, but it always gives the Trump worshippers an opportunity to offer their disgusting calumny. By far the greatest threat to our country are right-wing extremist (the same quality-people who became brown-shirts and black-shirts for Hitler). Mexicans are peaceful, courteous, hardworking family people and should be admired by we Americans who are their lessers in comparison. I hate people.

Derek, I personally try hard not to stereotype any group, but to respond to your comment that Mexicans are peaceful, courteous, hardworking family people, I guess you have never seen what the Mexican drug cartels are capable of doing. Not exactly my idea of peaceful and courteous. I’m not bashing Mexicans, but I’m also not going to believe that ALL Mexicans are as you described. All groups have their bad eggs.
