Overview

• The Harris County Sheriff’s Office shared Dugas’ mugshot and urged people to call 911 with sightings as deputies search for him.
• Dugas was sentenced to five years in Fort Bend County for family-violence assault and two years in Brazoria County for evading arrest, according to officials.
• He had been held in Harris County since Aug. 14 to face separate domestic-violence charges that were dismissed after his Fort Bend guilty plea.
• A preliminary review found jail staff did not properly note his state prison sentences, and officials said a thorough investigation is underway.
• Reports differ on the time of his release on Sunday, with accounts citing about 4:30 a.m. or about 4:30 p.m., and the case follows another mistaken release at the jail in February.
