The Early Police Department is looking for a man wanted on multiple charges, including Felony Violation of a Protective Order and Assault Family Violence.

According to a news release Monday afternoon from the Early Police Department:

Sunday night, 9/27, Early PD Officers along with Brown County Sheriff’s Deputies and DPS responded to the area of 200 block of Crescent Drive where Patrick Boutelle had been spotted by his bondsman at a house.  He had a protective order prohibiting him from being at the residence.

Boutelle had bonded out of the Lampasas County Jail for numerous charges in Lampasas and charges from Early PD of Aggravated Assault that took place on Crescent Drive where Boutelle broke into a house where his wife was staying, assaulted her and held a gun to her. Since bonding out in Lampasas, Boutelle had returned to the house and assaulted his estranged wife again and, violating an emergency protective order, warrants have been issued for these violations.

Police say when Boutelle returned Sunday evening, the bail bondsman attempted to make contact with Boutelle before notifying law enforcement at which time Boutelle ran from the bondsman. The bondsman then notified Law Enforcement when Boutelle wrecked his vehicle on Longhorn just off Park Drive. Boutelle ran on foot before officers arrived. Officers located a handgun, a quantity of marijuana, several variations of marijuana including THC Wax, other substances believed to be methamphetamine and mushrooms. The vehicle and all the items were seized. More charges will be sought for violating a protective order again and multiple drug and weapon charges.

On Monday, 9/28, dispatch received several reports of sightings around Brownwood near west Commerce and Lakeway area but Boutelle had not been arrested as of 1:45 pm.

If anyone sees Boutelle, they are encouraged to call 911 and report his location.
