He was arrested in Houston en route to Dallas. Dallas/Ft-Worth Police were looking for him. By not waiting to arrest him in Dallas he now has to be extradited (most likely by car) from Houston to Dallas possibly with a hearing involved. Side note this obviously costs taxpayers substantially more money, and inconvenienced substantially way more people for a misdemeanor charge. There is either more to this story or it was overall a very poor choice not to wait a few hours.
