Not even 24 hours after an early morning Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Blue Alert awakened folks across the Lone Star State, thousands of residents have lodged their complaints about the surprise wake-up call.

Seth Altman— "wanted for involvement in the killing or serious injury of a law enforcement officer"— was last seen in an area southeast of Amarillo. That's hours away from major Texas cities and their residents that were hit with an unexpected and loud early morning alert.

The Blue Alert, which is one form of an alert sent out by Texas law enforcement to residents statewide, hit cellphones before 5 a.m. Friday, according to a DPS statement. In the alert, the agency said it is searching for 33-year-old Seth Altman, who is wanted out of a rural town in the Texas Panhandle.
