SAN ANGELO, TX — San Angelo Police were dispatched to the unit block of E. 20th Street Tuesday morning for the report of an unauthorized use of a motor vehicle in progress involving a 2018 Nissan Frontier registered to Reece Albert.
According to the San Angelo Police Department, during the immediate follow-up investigation, officers learned that the two male suspects who had stolen the truck had backed into an occupied San Angelo ISD school bus before they fled the scene. The bus was reportedly stopped and picking up children at the time of the collision. No injuries were reported.
Shortly after, information was developed regarding the location of the stolen truck. When Officers responded to the area in question, the 600 block of E. 42nd Street, they spotted the truck in the backyard of a residence along with two men. Officers attempted to detain the men; however, the men fled the area and a foot pursuit ensued.
Additional units converged on the area and the men were located several blocks apart from one another. One suspect was apprehended by a pursuing Patrol Sergeant who jumped a chain link fence in order to thwart the suspect’s escape. The second suspect was taken into custody without incident. They were identified as Juan M. Pena, 20, and Andrew J. Reyna, 17 of San Angelo.
Pena and Reyna were interviewed by detectives with the department’s Criminal Investigations Division and subsequently charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and evading arrest or detention. Pena also received citations for unsafe backing, failure to stop and leave information, violation of B restriction, and passing a school bus.
Pena and Reyna are being held on bond at the Tom Green County Jail.

PermalinkIn Texas, if your vicious dog attacks someone, you may be held accountable if
a) the attack is the result of your failure to secure your dog properly
b) it's been established that you own a vicious dog, due to past criminal negligence, and it manages to attack someone
Once these two definitions have been applied to the respective party, they face some jail time if they haven't made arrangements to contain/restrain their animal, display visible warnings about their animal, and prove they have at least $100K to help pay for any future damages their dog may incur in the future.
Most dog owners who've been put through the ringer for deciding to own a 200 pound killing machine with a fence that couldn't contain a chicken, usually think twice about getting another.
Dog's bark, and sometimes bite, but that's about it. On the other hand, garbage like these two, intentionally set out to deprive other's of property, and then risk the lives of others, to avoid the consequences. There was "malicious" intent, obviously, and much of the crimes committed in the article fall under the legal definition of "crimes of moral turpitude". Why is this relevant? A 17 and 20 year old should have a general idea, about the legality of stealing vehicles and disregarding the lives of others in the process.
Parents/owners of these (far more dangerous) animals should be held to the same responsibilities.
You know if you've raised a reckless, inconsiderate asshole. Restrain it, contain it, or you should lose it permanently, after you, the parent, are incarcerated and ordered to make full amends to the victims.

PermalinkBut holding parents responsible by incarceration and reparations for the actions of their adult children is a little too much. You can't restrain, contain or control a punk. If your morality lessons haven't sunk in by now, they're on their own.
