At approximately, 8:30 pm Friday night, (5/26/2017) our agency received a Welfare Concern call from a family member of Gary Wrede, 63-year-old white male, stating that Wrede was located near a residence in the 900 block of Bennet Road and that the family member was concerned for his welfare.
Around the same time, our agency received a call from a local media station that a person, who had identified himself as Gary Wrede, had called their station. He pointed weapons at the DPS helicopter, who was on scene assisting our agency. A warrant was obtained for the subject while law enforcement was still on scene communicating with him. Wrede peacefully surrendered to law enforcement officials at approximately 2:05 AM on 5/27/2017. No one was injured during this incident.
We want to thank all of the agencies that assisted in the peaceful resolution of this incident. Sherman PD, Texas DPS, Howe PD, Tom Bean PD, and Gunter PD all assisted during this incident. This is a great example of combining resources and assisting other agencies.
