A 61-year-old man is behind bars after Bexar County deputies say he entered a North Side home carrying a knife and threatened the resident inside. Henry Walter Chapman III was taken into custody on November 2, exactly three weeks after the October 12 incident.
According to the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, Chapman entered the North Side home that day while carrying a knife and threatened the person living there. The resident did not know Chapman at the time of the incident, per the sheriff's office. Investigators went on to identify Chapman as the suspect in the case and secured a felony warrant for burglary of a habitation with intent to commit another felony, a first-degree charge.
Deputies Close In Weeks Later
With the warrant in hand, Bexar County deputies tracked Chapman down and arrested him without incident on the North Side on November 2, the sheriff's office reported. He was booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center on the burglary charge, according to the same post from the agency, which is led by Sheriff Javier Salazar.
What Comes Next
Burglary of a habitation with intent to commit another felony is classified as a first-degree felony under Texas law, according to Texas Legislature, consistent with the charge listed in the sheriff's office post. It is not yet clear from the available record whether prosecutors have formally filed charges or whether Chapman has appeared in court. Hoodline will update this story if the sheriff's office or Bexar County court records provide additional details on the case's progress.
