At approximately 2:00 p.m., a Dallas officer was flagged down in the 8400 block of Winecup Ridge Drive regarding a possible burglar inside of his residential garage. When the officer arrived to the residence, Traveon was observed walking from the garage into the residence. He was still wearing just his black shorts and appeared to be unharmed. Dallas Fire and Rescue was notified and performed a medical evaluation. He was reunited with his family and subsequently transported to an area hospital for a more thorough examination.
