A fugitive — seen in a booking photo wearing a sweatshirt with a chilling message on it — has been caught after allegedly going on the run following the suspicious death of a woman inside a Texas home.
Kruz Dean Wanser was arrested Thursday, according to a Facebook post from the Azle Police Department. The police said that Wanser was “sought in connection to the suspicious death” of Margaret Pennington, 37.
“Pennington was located deceased inside an Azle residence on Sunday, January 11, 2026,” the police statement said, adding that the “cause of death is still pending.”
In his booking photo, Wanser is wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt with a provocative statement printed on it in striking white letters.
“I will put you in a trunk and help people look for you,” the sweatshirt says in bold, all-caps block letters.
That phrase is followed by the words “Stop playing with me” written in a more whimsical font.
The Azle Police Department statement called Wanser “a wanted fugitive.” He has been charged with tampering or fabricating physical evidence to impair a human corpse, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, and parole violation.
