Thomas is currently being held at the Dallas County Jail in Texas, where he was charged Oct. 1 with unauthorized use of a vehicle, aggravated criminal damage to property and resisting arrest, according to online jail records.

The charges come after Abraham's body was found by a passerby in a rolled-up tarp on the side of the road in Tangipahoa Parish on Sept. 29, the local sheriff's office previously said on Facebook. Authorities determined Abraham's death was a homicide caused by blunt force trauma.

According to an arrest warrant reviewed by PEOPLE, Thomas was taken into custody in Texas on September 30 after police say he was found behind the wheel of Abraham's vehicle and attempted to flee during a traffic stop. Authorities said the car eventually crashed into a parking lot.

Police previously released images captured by a store's surveillance camera showing a person who authorities believe was the last person to drive Abraham's vehicle. The person being sought was not named at this time, but police later allegedly identified Thomas as the driver, the warrant states.

As the investigation continued, authorities executed a search warrant at Thomas' Baton Rouge apartment and claimed to have found evidence there that “suggested a violent physical altercation,” the warrant states. According to the warrant, authorities found blood in the apartment that allegedly matched Abraham's DNA, as well as “multiple sharp objects” and other weapons.

Authorities also said in the warrant that Abraham was seen on surveillance footage arriving at Thomas' apartment complex around 11 a.m. local time on Sept. 28 wearing the same clothes he was found dead the next day.
