*****Quick Weather*****
In case you haven't heard, rain tomorrow, up to an inch in the area. Sorry about the traffic commute if you have one, but we really need the rain. Sprinkles Thursday morning and nice after that!
*****Lakeway Resort Death*****
You won't hear it from the city, but there was an altercation at the Lakeway Resort Parking garage that resulted in the death of Frank Terlip a 66 year old male.
There was a 911 call reporting a fight in the garage and when officers arrived they found Houston on top of Terlip - after they were separated, Terlip was unresponsive and was later pronounced dead.
Evidently Houston left the Dallas / Fort Worth area with Terlip's adult daughter to escape an "abusive" relationship. Terlip found them and confronted Houston and an altercation started.
Houston claimed he instituted a choke hold on Terlip with the intent of getting him to "pass out".
Based on the interview with Houston and the witness statement, investigators felt Houston's actions "exceeded the necessary force necessary to defend himself".
Henry Thomas Houston, 54 is charged with second-degree felony manslaughter for the death.
