Justin LangrumLINDALE — The man who led authorities on a manhunt in Smith County on Thursday night has been arrested while trying to break into a home on Friday morning, according to law enforcement officials. Smith County Precinct 5 Constable Kenneth Bibby tells KETK that Justin Langrum, 23, of Rowlett, was taken into custody around 9:30 Friday morning. Bibby says Langrum had been trying to break into the shop, which was alarmed. On Thursday, Langrum allegedly shoplifted from Walmart in Lindale. Officials say he walked out without paying and drove away in a stolen car, hitting another vehicle in the parking lot as he left.

Authorities searched for some time using infrared imaging technology in wooded areas around Smith County Roads 4200 and 431, before eventually calling the search off around 8:30 p.m. According to Bibby, Lindale police made the arrest on CR 4200 and will be handling the investigation. Langrum will be charged with theft, an accident involving damage, and possession of marijuana.
