BONHAM (AP) -- A woman found dead in a burned mobile home near Bonham had been sought after a Texas trooper was injured during a traffic stop. DPS Trooper Mark Tackett says the remains of 40-year-old Tina Lynn McClaine have been sent to Dallas for an autopsy. Tackett told The Associated Press on Friday that dental records and fingerprints were used to identify McClaine. Tackett says Trooper Carmen Barker on Wednesday stopped a pickup, for a traffic violation, north of Bonham. Tackett says McClaine initially gave a false name and wrong date of birth to the trooper, then drove away. Tackett says the pickup driven by McClaine, who was sought on misdemeanor bad check warrants, was located Wednesday afternoon outside a mobile home that was burning. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Bonham is 70 miles northeast of Dallas.
