Police Arrest Vehicle Burglars, Thanks to Alert Citizen

 

SAN ANGELO -- Just before 10:15 p.m. on Wednesday, January 10, 2018, San Angelo Police were dispatched to the 1100 block of Cyndi Lane for vehicle burglaries in progress after a witness called to report several masked-subjects trying to enter multiple parked vehicles in the neighborhood. 

Officers converged on the area and located one suspect inside a vehicle parked in the 1200 block of Cyndi Lane.  Upon seeing the Officers, the suspect ran and a brief foot pursuit ensued.  During the pursuit, the suspect began discarding items, to include sunglasses and a rifle magazine, from his pockets.  The suspect was apprehended a short time later and identified as Axel Blanco, 17, of San Angelo. 

Responding Officers located two other subjects who had been with Blanco.  They were identified as Ryland D. Kimula, 17, and Sammy Torres, 19, both of San Angelo.

Now if our district attorneys' would do something about trying to the maximum sentence even if it happens to be the first time they have been arrested and if found guilty and do it every time they might figure out how to nip some of this crap in the bud and slow it down. But cutting deals, placing them on probation , letting me screw up probation and then saying ok , we will give you another chance is BS. If they get the maximum sentence they will not have any probation to screw up. So you say the jails are always full. For the citizens that is not our problem. We pay taxes to support the county jail. It's the country's problem. Not enough bed? I bet they have floor space. Better yet , do like they did in Arizona, put them up in big tents outside. If they can tolerate the heat there surely they can tolerate the cold here. Feed them, I am sure some citizens or churches would donate blankets, and they can work some of it off by working at people's homes doing yard work in the form of community service. They have to learn somehow.
