10 Texas Athletes Are Sentenced to Jail Terms for Robberies

A judge has sentenced 10 current and former high school athletes to prison terms of up to 25 years for their roles in numerous armed robberies in the Dallas area over the past year.

State District Judge Joe Kendall ordered that an 11th youth be sent to a prison boot camp for young offenders. A 12th still faces sentencing. ''In six months' time,'' the judge said Friday, the teen-agers ''committed more armed robberies than Bonnie and Clyde did in a lifetime.''

Judge Kendall sentenced the teen-agers after they had pleaded guilty to holding up a total of 21 restaurants, including some in which they worked. It Was Money for Prom Night

Some of the youths had testified that they had committed at least one robbery each so they could have extra money for prom night. Others said they had spent the money on trips to an amusement park, food and athletic shoes. Each had faced a maximum sentence of 99 years. Before sentencing, Judge Kendall lectured the youths for about 10 minutes, telling them they had no excuse for committing the crimes. Sentenced one by one, most of the defendants hung their heads as the judge ruled. One Gets 20 Years

Among those sentenced was Derric Evans, 17 years old, an all-America defensive back last year at Dallas Carter High School who lost a full scholarship to the University of Tennessee. He received a 20-year term for his involvement in four robberies. He slumped in his chair after his sentence was announced.

Gary Edwards, 17, a football player who played a prominent role in Carter's drive for a state championship, was sentenced to 16 years on three counts.

Keith Campbell, 18, received a 25-year term for his involvement in four robberies. Judge Kendall said he was a ringleader.

The seven others sentenced to prison were given terms ranging from 2 to 16 years.

nig gets deferred probation for all of this -- are you f-ing kidding me?

http://www.galvnews.com/news/free/article_ee8c9ad4-f6fa-51d2-a043-78c0f3ee989d.html

A Deer Park man Wednesday was sentenced to 10 years deferred probation for his involvement in an attempted shooting in Galveston and a drug trafficking incident in Texas City in 2016.

Jeremy Laurell George, 25, pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance between 4 and 200 grams and was sentenced as part of a plea agreement, court records show.

A man called police in August 2016 to tell them he was leaving his girlfriend at about 3:30 a.m. in the 6000 block of Broadway in Galveston when he noticed a suspicious car driving past and, as it went by, the rear passenger window rolled down and a man fired two shots in his direction, according to a probable cause affidavit.

The man followed the car while notifying police and, after a few turns, the front passenger window rolled down and a man continued to shoot out the window, according to the affidavit.

Texas City police eventually stopped the vehicle and identified George as the passenger shooter, according to the affidavit.

Shell casings were found on the ground matching those in the vehicle, according to the affidavit.

Then, in December 2016, Texas City police arrested George after seizing more than 50 grams of methamphetamine and 390 grams of marijuana.

more ridiculousness re catch and release violent negroes. shooting at people is attempted murder, no? this nig has THREE of those plus multiple other charges in a short time period. got nothing but probation for all of it

A Galveston man on probation after pleading guilty May 31 to a felony gun charge was charged again Sunday with multiple felonies that prosecutors should have known about before the plea deal was struck, officials said.

Galveston County District Attorney Jack Roady on Monday said his office should have known about felony warrants for Dymonique Thompson, 18, before his office agreed to a deferred probation deal on a deadly conduct charge from February.

Thompson pleaded guilty May 31 to firing a gun at a group of high school students in an alley near Ball High School on Feb. 14. No one was injured in the shooting, but it prompted a manhunt in neighborhoods around the school and caused high anxiety because it happened on the same day as a mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Fla.

Thompson was arrested again Sunday, just nine days after agreeing to the plea deal, according to police records.

He and another man were charged with felony theft of a firearm after a League City police officer reported finding two stolen handguns during a traffic stop on South Kansas Avenue just after midnight, according to a probable cause affidavit.

After that arrest, police charged Thompson on two outstanding warrants — one for an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge in La Marque and one for a burglary charge in Galveston, according to court records.

In the La Marque case, Thompson is accused of shooting at two men at a basketball court in Carbide Park on May 6, and then firing at the house where the men lived on May 7, according to the warrant. La Marque police obtained a warrant for his arrest in that case on May 23.

In Galveston, Thompson was accused of being one of four people who broke into a house in the 2900 block of Avenue O 1/2 on May 11, according to police records. Police obtained a warrant from the DA’s office on May 28, after reporting a security camera had recorded Thompson entering the house.

Derrick Phillips, 17, of Galveston, also was charged with felony burglary and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in connection with the same crimes, according to court documents.

Despite the two warrants, Thompson walked out of the Galveston County Courthouse on May 31 with a sentence of four years deferred probation.

That appears to have been a mistake, Roady said.

Prosecutors check for warrants before they complete plea agreements, he said. But when they checked their computer system for warrants in late May, the documents had not been uploaded, Roady said.

Prosecutors also must approve the warrants in the first place, he said.

“The arrest warrants were signed but for some reason never got entered into the system,” he said.

He could not explain why they weren’t in the system at the time.

“We’re going to figure out why the warrants didn’t show up,” he said.

Had the prosecutor negotiating the plea agreement known about the warrants, Thompson likely wouldn’t have gotten the same deal, he said.

“Certainly, if the prosecutor on the first case had known, there would have probably been a difference,” Roady said.

Thompson was in custody Monday at the Galveston County Jail on $140,000 bond, according to jail records.

Phillips was held on $100,000 bond, according to jail records.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — The man accused of gunning down the Elmendorf police chief in 2014 was acquitted of murder Monday after a judge ruled that he is not guilty by reason of insanity.

Judge Sid Harle agreed with two psychiatrist assessments that Joshua Manuel Lopez, 28, suffered from serious mental illness and did not know his conduct was wrong when he shot Chief Michael Pimentel twice, once in the shoulder and once in the abdomen.

Pimentel was on patrol on the morning of Aug, 23, 2014, when he pulled Lopez over to serve a warrant charging Lopez with graffiti of a city truck.

Spencer has been charged with two counts of capital murder during a robbery, one count of capital murder for killing two or more people and one count of capital murder for killing a person younger than 14.

The 52-year-old has reportedly spent the majority of his adult life in prison, beginning in July 1984 when he was sentenced to a year for third-degree burglary.

Ten years were added to his sentence after he escaped from prison in September of that year. In May 1985 he escaped again and was slapped with another 10 years.

Spencer was paroled in July 1988, but landed back in jail the following January after a judge sentenced him to life in prison for a violent second-degree burglary.

In March of 1993, Spencer escaped a third time. He was caught two months later and was convicted of breaking and entering a vehicle along with third-degree burglary during his escape.

Two more 16-year sentences were added to the life sentence as a result.

He was slapped with an additional 15 years for assaulting an inmate, according to corrections officials.

Spencer has spent the majority of his adult life in prison, mainly for violent burglary offenses

When Spencer came up for parole in 2013, one of his burglary victims and Franklin County District Attorney Joey Rushing both wrote letters asking that the repeat offender be kept behind bars.

Rushing said he was 'sickened' when he heard Spencer's name mentioned in connection with the triple murder this month because he did not know that he'd been released in January.

'The name immediately struck a chord,' Rushing told ABC31 (http://www.waaytv.com/content/news/Man-charged-with-killing-3-in-Guntersville-has-extensive-criminal-past-488539131.html). 'I was like: "I wrote a letter on him and he shouldn't be out."

'I was mad all over again that a small child is a victim of somebody who should still be in prison and still serving his life sentence.'

Rushing said he hopes this tragedy will lead the state parole board to be more careful about who is allowed back into the community.

New details emerge about judge’s determination to give leniency to teen now accused of murder

Second suspect in murder case also had been given breaks

https://www.ajc.com/rf/image_lowres/Wires/w2/Local_Wsbtv/2018/08/02/Images/804390770_myrick%2520and%2520fleetwodd_15332373753 79.jpg_12513327_ver1.0_640_360.jpg

Police arrested a second suspect Thursday in a fatal shooting outside a north Atlanta country club as new details emerged about the leniency granted in an earlier case to the 17-year-old accused gunman.

Jayden Myrick, who was arrested in the shooting last month, was “the big test case” for reforming juvenile offenders outside of adult prison, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Doris Downs told the teenager during a hearing on March 12, according to a transcript made public Thursday. Downs overruled a prosecutor’s insistence that Myrick was dangerous and a request to revoke his probation for an armed robbery he committed in 2015 at age 14.

Downs told Myrick at the end of the March hearing, “I’m pulling for you.”

“I’ve got your name etched in the back of my head,” the judge said. “I go to sleep at night and I’m wondering where you are and what you are up to … [The prosecutor] says we’ve made the mistake of a lifetime, and I’m hoping we’re right.”

Four months later, Myrick was back in jail, accused of killing 34-year-old Christian Broder, a Washington, D.C., restaurant executive who was in Atlanta for a wedding. Broder, a husband and father of an infant, died about two weeks after the July 8 shooting.

On Thursday, the Atlanta Police Department arrested the second suspect, 19-year-old Torrus Fleetwood, who is accused of driving a stolen 2014 Dodge Charger to the gates of the Capital City Club near Brookhaven, where Broder and three others were waiting for an Uber after leaving the wedding reception. Police said it was Myrick who jumped out, pointed a gun at the wedding guests and demanded their belongings. Broder followed Myrick, trying to negotiate, according to police reports, and Myrick pulled the trigger, shooting him in the stomach.

Fleetwood, of southeast Atlanta, is charged with murder, armed robbery and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Like Myrick, he had been given breaks in previous criminal cases, allowing him to be out of jail the night of the shooting.

In January 2016, Fleetwood was arrested in Clayton County on charges of making terroristic threats, obstruction of a police officer and battery on a police officer. He pleaded guilty about a year later and received a three-year sentence – six months in jail and 2 ½ years on probation.

Fulton County court records show that Fleetwood was also arrested on June 26, 2016, for robbery by force and other charges, including battery and gang activity.

Seven months later, on Jan. 25, 2017, he pleaded guilty before Fulton Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville and was sentenced to two years in prison and three years on probation. But Glanville credited Fleetwood’s time served, and he was released Jan. 31, 2017.

A Clayton County judge revoked his probation in March of this year and ordered him to spend 30 days in jail. The details of the probation violation do not appear in court records.

The connection between Myrick and Fleetwood was not immediately clear. Attempts to reach Fleetwood’s mother and grandmother were not successful Thursday. Both teenagers had allegedly participated in street gangs, although records don’t indicate whether they belonged to the same groups.

An investigation published Sunday by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution found that Myrick had been released early from a seven-year sentence for a 2015 robbery, placed in the care of a little-known rehabilitation program called Visions Unlimited. The organization has no office and no paid employees, it meets with teenagers in a branch library, and it lost its tax-exempt status in 2015, preventing donors from writing off contributions. Leonard Dungee, the son of the organization’s founder, Gwendolyn Sands, said Monday that Visions Unlimited is “self-funded.”

Myrick was convicted as an adult in the robbery. But because he was still a juvenile, he entered a state juvenile detention center. On his 17th birthday, the law required that he be transferred to adult prison or be placed on probation.

Judge Downs released him in August after Sands promised an array of services: education, job training, family counseling and what she called “24/7 supervision.”

Court transcripts made public Thursday show that Downs placed enormous trust in Sands. In a hearing last November, Downs told Myrick, “Basically, the probation that you are on is directed by Ms. Sands until further notice.” The judge said Sands had “a very detailed plan” for Myrick and would enforce a round-the-clock curfew.

Downs revoked Myrick’s probation that day for posting gang-related images on social media. But on his release, she ordered, he was to be placed in Sands’ custody — and to live in her home.

Myrick’s release, Downs said, was “on the condition that Ms. Sands takes him in like she promised she would do.”

Addressing Sands, Downs added, “Do you stand ready to do that?”

“Yes, your honor, I do,” Sands answered.

3 guys recently picked up by Atlanta police have 52 arrests combined

ATLANTA - Atlanta Police captured three people breaking into cars and soon learned this wasn't their first offense. Police say combined, the trio has been arrested more than 50 times.

It was a Wednesday night when several cars were broken into at a lot on Peachtree Street in Midtown. One man told FOX 5 News his windows were shattered and his car was damaged. He says so far, there's more than $5200 in damages.

"These three were well known to police, between the three they had been arrested 52 times. One of them had been arrested 28," said Atlanta Police Major Darin Schierbaum.

He was talking about 38-year-old Damario Griffin with 28 arrests. Police said he was working that night with 26-year-old Ali Caldwell and 28-year-old Travante Turner.

Major Schierbaum said once free, repeat offenders with long rap sheets tend to go back to the same community and commit the same crimes.

"It is frustrating to our officers when we see individuals released without meaningful intervention or probation not properly enforced and they return to the community and feel liberty to offend," said Maj. Shierbaum.

Police don't have a role in sentencing. While the sentence varies when it comes to car break-ins, the sentence is typically light. Police encourage community members to get involved through Court Watch programs where they can keep an eye on the offenders, follow their cases and show the court system that these crimes are important to the community.

A Dickinson man was sentenced Monday to two years in state jail for attempting to kidnap a woman at a north county parking lot in 2017.

Jose Arturo Rodriguez Reyna, 37, pleaded guilty to one count of attempted kidnapping after initially being charged with aggravated kidnapping and was sentenced as part of a plea agreement, court records show.

A woman told Galveston County Sheriff’s deputies in June 2017 that she was walking to a relative’s house to meet her boyfriend when a white van pulled up next to her and a man got out, struck her and tried to force her into the vehicle, officials said.

The woman then escaped and the van pulled off, officials said.

ouston man gets probation for 185 pounds of pot

A Houston man was sentenced Thursday to 10 years deferred probation for transporting 185 pounds of marijuana in 2017.

Jeremy Azequiel Fuentes, 21, of Houston, pleaded guilty to one count of possession of marijuana between 50 pounds and 2,000 pounds and was sentenced as part of a plea agreement, court records show.

A Texas Department of Public Safety trooper pulled over a red Dodge Grand Caravan in December 2017 at the intersection of state Highway 3 and Bay Area Boulevard after seeing it violate safety standards near state Highway 3 and state highway 96, according to a probable cause affidavit.

The affidavit does not explain how the vehicle violated those standards.

But during the stop, the trooper smelled marijuana and searched the vehicle, finding three large tubs of marijuana inside, according to the affidavit.

The marijuana was in bundles, wrapped in plastic inside the tubs with dryer sheets to contain the smell, according to the affidavit.
