Deputies conducted a welfare check at the Landes residence. Landes, armed with an AK-47, told deputies that he had been drinking and had killed his wife's dogs. When he refused to put the rifle down, a deputy tasered Landes. Landes was arrested for cruelty to animals, cleared by Conroe Regional Medical Center and booked into Montgomery County Jail. He became ill a second time, returned to Conroe Regional and died of pancreatitis. The Texas Ranger Division investigated.
