FRED – Deputies with the Tyler County Sheriff’s Office made an arrest while looking for a man on multiple warrants, but the wanted man they were looking for is still being sought.

According to Tyler County Sheriff Bryan Weatherford, deputies were looking for Roy F. Kendrick, IV, on Friday, Jan. 5.

They were working on a report of a stolen Honda ATV, which was taken from a shipping container in a hunting camp burglary, in the Fred area.

Kendrick, who had multiple warrants out of Hardin County, and is a person of interest in multiple Tyler County offenses, was not at the residence deputies attempted to locate him at, however, they did discover a Honda ATV that matched the description of the one reported as stolen earlier in the evening.
