The Austin County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a suspect in connection with a double stabbing that occurred in Industry.

During the early morning hours on Tuesday, the Austin County Dispatch Center received a 9-1-1 call that multiple victims had been stabbed at a residence on Jones Road.

Deputies and medics arrived at the scene and discovered two adult victims who had multiple stab wounds. The assailant, who was identified as Joshua Scott Waters, was known to both victims, and had fled the scene prior to law enforcement arrival.

The victims were transported to hospitals for emergency treatment for life-threatening injuries.

Deputies received information that Waters changed clothes and was running through the woods northeast of Industry.

After a lengthy, three-mile track, utilizing specialized drones and tracking software, deputies located and arrested him without incident.

Waters was then transported to the Austin County Jail, and charged with two counts of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon and Evading Arrest.
