Texas fugitive wears ‘I will put you in the trunk’ sweatshirt as he’s arrested in connection with woman’s ‘suspicious’ death

A Texas fugitive wore an ominous sweatshirt threatening to abduct people as he was arrested in connection with the “suspicious” death of a 37-year-old woman.

Kruz Dean Wanser was charged with felony tampering/fabricate physical evidence with intent to impair a human corpse, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and parole violation, officials announced Thursday.

Wanser was wanted by the Azle Police, the Texas Rangers and the US Marshals after Margaret Pennington was found dead in her Azle home last Sunday.

Officials had offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to Wanser’s arrest on Monday, a day after Pennington’s body was discovered.

Wanser was booked into Azle jail, where his mugshot featured the fugitive with a tattoo under his right eye as he was wearing a purple sweatshirt that displayed a threatening message.

“I will put you in the trunk and help people look for you. Stop playing with me,” the shirt read.

Pennington was declared dead just before 7 p.m. at her home on the 100 block of Lakewood Drive in Azle, 20 miles northwest of Fort Worth on Jan. 11.

The cause and manner of Pennington’s death are still pending, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s records viewed by The Post.

Even the killers have their own merch.

I know she was a lefty, but this here is a good quote.
Radio Talker Mike Savage hated her or perhaps was envious of her fame.
