SAN ANGELO, TX -- (SAPD Press Release) On Wednesday morning, September 12, 2018, San Angelo Police received a report of a white 2017 Toyota RAV-4 stolen from Goodnight Trail.  During extensive follow up investigation, 19-year-old Rocky Ramirez Jr. was developed as a potential suspect.

Late last night, Officers with the Department’s Anti-Crime Unit spotted the RAV-4 being operated in the 2500 block of W. Avenue N.  

Pursuant to immediate coordination with the Department’s Patrol Division, a high-risk traffic stop was initiated in the 2200 block of S. Johnson Street.  The driver was taken into custody without incident and identified as Ramirez.

During the subsequent search of Ramirez and the recovered stolen vehicle, Officers located and seized numerous pieces of identifying information and credit and debit cards issued to people other than Ramirez as well as electronics and a women’s purse.  Some of the items were confirmed to belong to the registered owner of the RAV-4, while other items were confirmed to belong to victims of several recent burglaries.

During the lengthy field investigation, the Anti-Crime Unit Officers discovered Ramirez had committed a yet-to-be reported robbery at the 7-11 Convenience store located at 1801 W. Avenue N. sometime Wednesday morning and subsequently obtained surveillance video of Ramirez arriving at the store in the stolen RAV-4.  As a result, an arrest warrant for the offense of Robbery was obtained.

Ramirez was ultimately charged with Unauthorized Use of Motor Vehicle, Credit Card/Debit Card Abuse, and the warrant for Robbery.  Ramirez was transported to the Tom Green County Jail without incident.  His bond was set at $30,000.

and judges and juries of San Angelo are fine with these multifaceted criminals running the streets.
Not much ever happens to them. They hang around here for years.

Has anyone looked at all of face tatts arrests?! All that within 2 years?! Man this “keep the sweet babies out of jail so the county can get that mone...uhh PROBATION” program really REALLY stops the reoffending around here. *slow claps for the local justice system*

If you want to be more successful at being a lowlife sack of excrement, dress inconspicuously -- or "on da down-low". This means appearing average, and certainly not branding your body with distinguishing garbage that makes it any easier for the public and authorities to point you out.

Case in point: This dude was ripping things off in the neighborhood a few years ago. The same a-hole would walk laps around the block, shirtless, peppered with tattoos, typical of career scumbags (gang junk, Catholic folklore etc.). Needless to say, the authorities knew who and what to look for, and he was caught within days.

The tats fool no one. You're not a "gangsta", you're a stray cockroach that just hasn't been squashed yet.

The previous poster was correct, we'll surely see this feral trash in the headlines again. It sends the message that what he did, was simply not that serious, and those who he offended are consequently not worth protecting.
