FAIRFIELD, Texas (AP) — A man suspected of killing a Texas state trooper during a traffic stop was taken into custody more than 100 miles away, authorities said Thursday night. 
 
 The Harris County Sheriff's Office announced on Twitter that the suspect was apprehended in neighboring Waller County. The Texas Department of Public Safety and other law enforcement agencies had identified the suspect as Dabrett Black, 32, of Linsdale, Texas. 
 
 DPS said the trooper was shot and killed before 4 p.m. Thursday during a traffic stop on Interstate 45 near Fairfield, about 90 miles (145 kilometers) south of Dallas. The trooper was shot with a rifle and died at the scene, the agency said. The suspect then fled. 
 
 The trooper has not been identified. 
 
 Hours after the shooting, the Waller County Sheriff's Office said the suspect's vehicle was spotted in Hempstead, about 110 miles (177 kilometers) south of Fairfield. The sheriff's office said on its Facebook page that shots were fired, but did not indicate who opened fire. 
 
 The suspect was apprehended a short time later. 
 
 KYTX-TV reported in July that Black was charged with evading arrest, reckless driving and aggravated assault against a public servant following a police chase in Smith County. 
 
 Several Texas officials reacted to the trooper's death. In a tweet, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz offered "prayers for the family and loved ones" of the trooper. 
 
 Texas Gov. Greg Abbott called the trooper's killing a "heinous crime" in a statement Thursday. Abbott also expressed his "most sincere condolences" to the trooper's family. ||||| Officials: Sandra Bland spoke of previous suicide attempt 
 
 The 28-year-old woman who died in the Waller County jail three days after police arrested her in a controversial traffic stop told jailers during her intake that she previously had tried to commit suicide, authorities said Wednesday. 
 
 The information was discussed in a closed meeting with dozens of elected officials and law enforcement on Tuesday, shortly before authorities made public the video of the arrest of Sandra Bland by a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper on July 10. She was taken to the jail after her arrest. 
 
 Bland disclosed on a form at the jail that she previously had attempted suicide over that past year, although she also indicated she was not feeling suicidal at the time of her arrest, according to officials who attended the Tuesday meeting with local and state leaders investigating the case. 
 
 Read the full jail form below 
 
 Rep. Sylvester Turner, D-Houston, told the Chronicle that officials at the meeting said Bland's suicide attempt was related to losing a baby. But Turner said Bland's mental health history still remains "a little bit fuzzy." 
 
 Turner said Bland's disclosure about her suicide attempt to jail authorities should have led to increased supervision by jail staff. And it illustrates "the need to make sure we provide the care and the interventions for people who are having behavioral and mental health issues when people are coming into our county jail system." 
 
 Officials with the Waller County DA's office released the information Wednesday evening. The documents included two separate suicide-risk assessments completed hours apart the day she was arrested, July 10. 
 
 In one, completed at 5:32 p.m., Bland checked boxes asking if she had ever felt "very depressed" and if she was currently feeling that way. She also checked a box asking if she had felt like killing herself in the last year. The documentation also revealed she had tried to kill herself, with pills, in 2014. The reason Bland gave was "lost baby." 
 
 Finally, she checked a box saying she had experienced a recent loss, a godmother, in late 2014. 
 
 In a separate assessment, completed three hours later, the answers to the questions about depression and thoughts of killing oneself were both listed as "no." 
 
 A Waller County jailer who completed the assessment wrote "no" to the question of whether mental illness was suspected. The space next to a question asking whether a magistrate had been notified was answered only as "N/A." 
 
 Guidelines from the jail commission requires authorities to notify a magistrate or call a crisis hotline if jailers suspect mental illness or if an inmate says when being screened, among other things, they have tried to commit suicide in the past and had suicidal thoughts in the last year, experienced a recent loss or suffered from depression. 
 
 Wood, the Jail Commission director, said jailers often rescreen inmates after the initial shock of their arrest has warn off. 
 
 "There were several red flags and they should have had her screened based on that intake screening form," he said. The commission issued two notes of non-compliance to the jail, regarding how it hadn't performed face-to-face observations as required by law, and was unable to show documentation to prove it had given its jailers training regarding handling mentally ill or disabled inmates, as required by the jail's own guidelines. 
 
 Bland's relatives returned to Illinois on Wednesday. At a news conference there, Cannon Lambert, the family attorney, answered questions about Bland's mental health and the jail form documenting her previous attempt to kill herself. 
 
 "This family has no evidence that that is the case," Lambert told reporters there. 
 
 The revelations about the jail form came as Texas' top officials weighed in on the death and raised new questions about whether or not Bland should have been observed more closely by jailers, and whether or not staff with the Waller County Sheriff's Office should have taken additional steps after Bland was processed at the jail. 
 
 Inmates across Texas receive a screening when they arrive at jails, with questions about mental health issues, previous suicide attempts, and other questions. 
 
 "It's generally recommended or accepted that if there are certain positive answers, that should trigger contact with a local mental health authority or even notifying a crisis hotline," said Brandon Wood, Executive Director of the Texas Commission on Jail Standards, declining to speak directly about Bland's case. 
 
 ""Our hearts and prayers remain with the Bland family for their tragic loss. The family deserves answers," Gov. Greg Abbott said Wednesday, nine days after Bland was found dead in Waller County Jail. "The Texas Rangers, working in coordination with the FBI, will conduct a full and thorough investigation that will deliver those answers and work toward the ultimate goal of ensuring justice in this case." 
 
 In a statement, Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa said Sandra Bland did non deserve to die in custody. 
 
 "While it is still not clear how Sandra Bland died, one thing is: the state of Texas and Waller County failed her. Policies were violated, state rules were ignored, and ultimately a young black woman died in the custody of her government," he said. "Sandra's government should have followed the rules. Sandra Bland should be alive today. For far too long, America has been failing to keep its promise to people of color. Black lives matter. We demand change."

 Hours after DPS officials released dashcam video of Bland's arrest, questions arose whether the video had been edited. 
 
 Bland, a 28-year-old Chicago native who moved to Texas for a temporary job at Prairie View A&M University, was arrested by a DPS trooper July 10 during a traffic stop near the school. 
 
 She was found hanging in Waller County jail three days later, to the dismay and disbelief of her family, who said it was "unfathomable" she would kill herself. 
 
 In an email to the Chronicle, DPS spokesman Tom Vinger wrote, "The video has not been edited. To eliminate any concerns as to the efficacy of the video, DPS previously requested the FBI examine the dash cam and jail video to ensure the integrity of the video. The entire video was uploaded to include the audio and video of the conversation the trooper had by telephone with his sergeant, which occurred after the arrest. Some of the video during this conversation was affected in the upload and is being addressed. We are working to repost the dash cam video." 
 
 The story of Bland's arrest and death has made international headlines, as social justice advocates call for answers and as hashtags like #ifidieinpolicecustody and #whathappenedtosandrabland have flourished on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook. 
 
 On Tuesday, elected officials met in Prairie View, and renewed their pledge the case would be investigated thoroughly and transparently. The Texas Rangers, an investigative arm of the DPS, is looking into Bland's death. Last week, the DPS also asked for the FBI to join the investigation. 
 
 At that conference, Sen. Royce West, (D-Dallas), said he believed Bland's stop had been unlawful. 
 
 "She did not deserve to be placed into custody," West said. 
 
 Elton Mathis, Waller County District Attorney, said it would receive as much scrutiny as a murder investigation. His office has already released jail-house footage from the morning Bland's body was found hanging from a noose apparently made from a plastic bag. 
 
 The video released Tuesday showed an escalating confrontation with DPS Trooper Brian Encinia, a 30-year-old trooper who has been with the department for about a year, after the trooper asks Bland to put out a cigarette and she refuses. 
 
 He then orders her out of the car, and tries to yank her outside, even threatening her with a taser. As the situation escalated Bland becomes increasingly belligerent, the video shows. She asks repeatedly why she was being arrested, but does not receive an answer from Encinia. She curses at Encinia during a struggle while he is trying, off camera, to cuff her. 
 
 "This makes you feel read good, don't it? You're a real man now," she says. 
 
 But soon after the video was released, questions arose about whether or not it had been doctored. 
 
 As noted in a story on Medium, several key points in the video appear to have been edited, and in several points, video appears to have been looped. 
 
 At a point 32:37 into the 51-minute recording, "a white car drives into the left side of the frame, then promptly disappears in the middle of the road," Norton wrote, in the Medium story. "Seconds later, the same car drives back into the frame and subsequently turns left." 
 
 "At 33:08, the exact same footage from 32:37 is repeated, followed by the same second white car at 33:17." 
 
 In an earlier portion of footage, about halfway through the video, a man near Bland's car leaves the center of the frame. 
 
 "For the next 15 seconds, he walks toward the right of the frame and leaves," the Medium's Ben Norton wrote. "At 25:19, he suddenly appears again, promptly disappears, then returns at 25:22. The same footage of him walking is subsequently repeated."

 WALLER COUNTY, Texas - 
 
 The FBI has entered the investigation of a female inmate who was found dead in her cell in the Waller County Jail on Monday morning. 
 
 Waller County D. A. Elton Mathis said Sandra Bland, 28, was discovered at 9:07 a.m. Monday after she used a plastic garbage bag as a noose to hang herself from an overhead partition inside her cell. Bland was in the cell alone. Her death was ruled a suicide by the Harris County medical examiner Thursday. 
 
 Protesters rallied outside the jail Friday, asking for answers into the woman's death. 
 
 While many of the supporters did not know Bland personally, LaVaughn Mosley did. He said he actually got a phone call from inside the jail a few days ago. 
 
 "Bland called me on Friday evening about 10:25 to inform me that she had been arrested and that she was being held here at the Waller County Jail," Mosley said. 
 
 He said they talked about posting bond. 
 
 "We did discuss trying to make arrangements, whenever they set bail, to post bail," said Mosley. 
 
 Mathis said there were no cameras inside the cell, but that cameras monitoring the hallways showed that no one who might have done her harm went in or out of Bland's cell before her body was discovered. 
 
 Mathis said investigators were also looking into videos that surfaced Thursday, allegedly posted by Bland last March, in which she is heard talking about her struggles with depression and PTSD. 
 
 But her friends and family said the circumstances of Bland's death, and the arrest itself, just don't add up. 
 
 "We all want to know how did a simple traffic stop end up with the death of a young black woman who was just trying to move on in life?" said friend LaVaughn Mosely. 
 
 The family's attorney, Cannon Lambert Sr., said at a press conference in Chicago Thursday, “We don’t understand this. It doesn’t make sense. And because it doesn’t make sense, we need to make certain that they can get to a place where it does make sense.” 
 
 Bland's death is under investigation by the Texas Rangers. Mathis said her mother will travel to Hempstead Monday to meet with them. 
 
 Bland was a 2009 graduate of Prairie View A&M and had just accepted a job at the university, a job that would have started Wednesday. 
 
 On Friday afternoon, a Department of Public Safety trooper pulled over Brand's Hyundai on University Blvd., in Prairie View, for failure to signal a lane change. DPS said Brand was "argumentative and uncooperative." 
 
 She was arrested for assault on a public servant. 
 
 A YouTube video purportedly shows Bland's arrest. 
 
 A witness to the arrest, Renee McKnight, came out of the barber shop across the street where she works after a customer alerted her to the arrest. 
 
 She said she walked out after Bland was handcuffed and just as Bland and the officer fell to the ground. 
 
 "When they fell on the ground, he got on top of her and was telling her she needs (to) calm down, and she was cussing him and telling him he threw a woman on the ground, and slammed her on the ground," McKnight said. "I can't say he was being rough with her, because I did see her trying to restrain her. And of course, she was trying to get up and was struggling with him, so I can't say he was being rough or wasn't being rough." 
 
 DPS on Friday said it has identified "violations of the department's procedures regarding traffic stops and the department's courtesy policy." 
 
 The trooper involved has been assigned to administrative duties, pending the outcome of the FBI and Texas Rangers investigation, according to DPS. 
 
 DPS also said its video of the arrest will be reviewed during the investigation and then released to the public at some point. 
 
 Brand refused a medical review by EMS and was then booked into the Waller County Jail. 
 
 Friends said she had been in contact with them and was awaiting her bond hearing. 
 
 Then on Monday morning, jailers found her not breathing as a result of self-asphyxiation. 
 
 The Sheriff's Office said CPR was administered, and emergency crews were called, but she was pronounced dead. 
 
 In a statement, the sheriff called this a tragic incident, but her friends said Bland would not have killed herself. 
 
 "Anyone who knows Sandy Bland knows she has a thirst for life. She was planning for the future, and she came here to start that future, so to say she killed herself is totally absurd," Mosley said. 
 
 The Waller County district attorney said he also has questions. 
 
 "I will admit it is strange someone who had everything going for her would have taken her own life. That's why it's very important a thorough investigation is done and that we get a good picture of what Ms. Bland was going through the last four or five days of her life," said Mathis. 
 
 On Friday, the Texas Commission on Jail Standards confirmed to KPRC 2 News that it did issue a "notice of non-compliance" to Waller County Jail in two areas: observation of inmates and training. 
 
 Late Thursday, stories surfaced on the Daily Kos and Slate websites, alleging Sheriff Glenn Smith was dismissed in 2008 as Hempstead chief of police after he and other officers were accused of racist behavior. 
 
 Smith responded, saying those allegations arose after he'd declared his intention to run for sheriff and were politically motivated. 
 
 "I am not a racist," Smith said at a Thursday press conference. "Black lives matter to Glenn Smith." 
 
 Smith said two of the Hempstead City Council members who made the accusations were later sent to federal prison after being convicted of bribery. ? 
 
 A prayer vigil for Bland is scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday at Hope AME Church near Prairie View A&M.
– A man suspected of killing a Texas state trooper during a traffic stop was taken into custody more than 100 miles away, authorities said Thursday night. The Harris County Sheriff's Office announced on Twitter that the suspect was apprehended in neighboring Waller County. The Texas Department of Public Safety and other law enforcement agencies identified the suspect as Dabrett Black, 32, of Lindale, Texas, the AP reports. DPS said the trooper was shot and killed before 4pm Thursday during a traffic stop on Interstate 45 near Fairfield, about 90 miles south of Dallas. The trooper, who has not been publicly identified, was shot with a rifle and died at the scene, the agency said. The suspect then fled. Hours after the shooting, the Waller County Sheriff's Office said the suspect's vehicle was spotted in Hempstead. The sheriff's office said shots were fired but didn't indicate who opened fire. The suspect was apprehended a short time later. Several Texas officials reacted to the trooper's death. In a tweet, Sen. Ted Cruz offered "prayers for the family and loved ones" of the trooper. Gov. Greg Abbott called the trooper's killing a "heinous crime." "Sad on Thanksgiving to lose one of our state troopers in the line of duty," he tweeted. "Prayers for his family. Swift justice for his killer."
