Gregg County Jail
An East Texas man is back in custody after failing to appear in court in August. Thomas Elliot Henkel, 34, of Kilgore, is charged with intoxication manslaughter. Prosecutors say he caused a crash last summer that killed 16-year-old Lauren Elrod of Harleton. Henkel was captured earlier this week and his bond has been increased to $250,000. Henkel also faces a DWI charge in Cass County.
