The work release inmate accused of killing a co-worker at Foster Farms in Farmerville has been arrested in Texas. Union Parish Sheriff Dusty Gates and his deputies have been looking for 48-year-old Bruce Causey since April.
“The evening of New Year’s Eve we received a call from Pearland, Texas, which is out near Houston that they had Causey in custody and wanted to verify we had warrants out on him,” said Gates.
Gates says Causey fatally stabbed Ketrick Lavon Calhoun at the chicken processing plant and fled the scene. He says police in Texas responding to a verbal domestic incident near Houston resulted in Causey’s arrest.
“Very disturbing that he was out this long, it’s almost like he disappeared off the face of the earth, I knew at some point of time he would probably make a mistake,” said Gates.
Gates says Causey will have to face a firearm charge in Texas before he’s extradited to Louisiana. The sheriff says the Calhoun family is relieved.
“Once we were notified that Causey was in custody, we did contact him and let them know that he was in custody and they were very happy to hear that,” said Gates.
