SAN ANTONIO – He was one step ahead of officers for more than a year, but one week after Michael Ray De La Garza was featured on KSAT-12, he was finally taken into custody.
De La Garza, 27, had been wanted since March 2015 for violating conditions of his bond - including cutting off an ankle monitor that was tracking his whereabouts.
