Lufkin
police officers arrested the last of three Angelina County women after they
allegedly burglarized a rent house in the 100 block of Toran Road Sunday.
One woman
was arrested at the scene Sunday, and the other two were taken into custody earlier
this week after Lufkin Police officers located them.
Brandi
Lacresha Beltran-Hernandez, 23, of Huntington, Amber Leann Hector, 18, of
Lufkin, and Holly Marie Horton, 18, were all charged with burglary of a
habitation, which is a felony. Hector and Horton were also charged with
possession of a controlled substance between four and 200 grams.
Bond was
set at $15,000 for Beltran-Hernandez, who bonded out and was released Monday.
Hector and Horton are still being held in the Angelina County Jail. No bond has
been set for either woman at this time.
According
to police reports, the woman returned home to find a vehicle backed into her
driveway. She then spotted three women later identified as Beltran-Hernandez, Hector,
and Horton loading personal property from her rent house into the back of the
vehicle.
Upon
learning that the woman was calling the police, Hernandez allegedly began
putting the woman's belongings back in the residence, the arrest affidavits
stated. Hector and Horton fled the scene on foot before Lufkin Police officers
arrived, leaving the vehicle parked in the driveway.
Beltran-Hernandez
was arrested at the scene, and the woman recognized Horton as one of the
suspects who fled the scene. Information found in the suspects' vehicle helped
law enforcement officers confirm that Hector was the other person who fled the
scene.
Hector
and Horton were arrested at Woodland Hills Apartments in the 1800 block of East
Denman Avenue Tuesday night.
Detective
J.B. Smith, the public information officer for the Lufkin Police Department
said LPD officers responded to a report of drug activity at that location.
While speaking with people at the apartment complex, an officer recognized a
vehicle in the parking lot as one connected to Hector and Horton, both of whom
were wanted on burglary warrants.
After
learning which apartment the two women were in, the LPD officers went inside
and found Hector and Horton hiding in a bedroom. Officers also allegedly found
about eight grams of amphetamine, syringes, a drug smoking pipe, spoons, and
small baggies.
