Burglary suspect escapes police custody

Khaled Abdelrahman Azzeh, 31, of Webster, was arrested at 4:39 p.m. on October 20 when a resident in the 3500 block of Arezzo Circle reported Azzeh as a suspicious person, opening vehicle doors and peering into windows.  He ran from police and was charged with Evading Arrest and booked into the Friendswood City Jail.  

At 3:00 a.m. on October 21, a Friendswood officer transported Azzeh to the Harris County Jail in downtown Houston.  As the female officer escorted Azzeh to the inmate processing area, he pushed her down and escaped on foot. He was still in handcuffs and wearing a jail uniform shirt. The Friendswood officer and a Harris County jailer pursued him on foot. Harris County Sheriff deputies and Houston Police Department, including a Police K-9, searched the area, but Azzeh was not found. 

Azzeh is suspected of multiple burglaries in the Terra Bella and Autumn Creek neighborhoods.  He is described as a white male, 6-feet tall, 200 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.  He has a tattoo of a star with a skull on his shoulder, a tattoo of a panther on one arm and a tattoo of a clown with a gun on his back.  

At the time of his escape, Azzeh was already out of jail on a $15,000 bond in Harris County for felony vehicle theft. A warrant charging Azzeh with Escape is pending.
