2 Prisoners Escape from Transport Bus, CAMP RUBY, October 28, 2022 - Shortly after 1 pm on October 28, 2022, two Texas Department of Correction (TDC) transport busses with prisoners were east-bound on US-190 East. One of the busses (the lead bus) blew a tire. Both busses pulled to the right shoulder (just east of FM-1276). A repair man (Marty Robinson) from Galloway Exxon in Livingston was summoned to fix the tire. Robinson showed up, began working on the flat tire, and during that time, SOMETHING went wrong. IT SEEMS LIKE SOMEBODY messed up. For WHATEVER REASON, two of the prisoners managed to escape (1 black male, and 1 white male) AND reportedly managed to escape with the guard's gun (according to sources) into the adjoining woods. Sheriff Byron Lyons, Chief Deputy, Ricky Childers, multiple deputies and detectives from the Polk County Sheriff's Office, State Troopers and other law enforcement converged on the area. A short time later, both prisoners were recaptured and there were no injuries. Both men were wearing orange jump suits. That's all the information that we have at this time.

On this particular day, the manager's office was collecting rent from the tenants. Williams, was in plain clothes, but still had his badge when two men walked in and inquired about possibly renting an apartment. The men pulled out guns and forced the manager and Williams into an adjoining room. They took the manager's money that he had been collecting from renters, they also took his wallet. The other suspect searched Williams. Williams had been ordered into a kneeling position with his hands on the bed. As the suspect was searching Williams, he spotted Williams' badge. Williams lunged upward from the kneeling position. The suspect shot Williams in the chin. Williams fell to the floor where he remained until the suspects left. After they left, Williams got up, walked into the bathroom for a moment, then left the building to the parking lot to look for the suspects. Meanwhile, the manager came outside, spotted a cab, and ordered the cab to take Williams to Parkway Hospital. Williams walked into the emergency room. They immediately rushed him into surgery where he died 40 minutes later. After the bullet stuck Williams in the chin, it traveled upwards and was lodged in his brain. the man who murdered Williams was never caught. The case had been reopened and has cold case detectives working to hopefully solve the crime. Deputy Williams was born and raised in Polk County. His son, Yancy Williams, became a US Marine. After the Marines, Yancy returned to Livingston, started his own family, and also became a Volunteer Fireman for the Livingston Fire Department. Sadly, in 2021, Yancy contracted covid 19 and passed away. The purpose for the morning gathering was to honor Edd Williams. Recently, retired officer, Burt Sims, spotted Williams' grave (located at Victory Place Beautiful Cemetery located at FM-1988 and FM-3278). The grave was neglected, the land around the grave was eroding, and the picture (in stone) of Edd Williams had been defaced. Sims had established an organization, Blue Remembrance, to keep up the graves of fallen and passed officers in an effort to never forget them. Sims enlisted help from Sergeant Rob Thomas with the Polk County Sheriff's Office, and who works in the business of headstones, services, and proper upkeep of burial sites. Together, they were able to totally restore Williams' grave, restore the picture, and have a service so that we don't forget our fallen officers. Among other elected officials in attendance were Judge Sydney Murphy, Sheriff Byron Lyons ad Constable Darwon Evans, as well as some family members of Edd Williams, and Polk County and Harris County law enforcement officers.
