Constable Bridges stated that he stopped by to check on the man, thinking that maybe he was having car problems. Things quickly turned the other way as Bridges walked up to the vehicle and could observe the subject attempting to load a portable generator inside the passenger seat of the vehicle. Constable Bridges could clearly see marks from where the generator had been dragged from a residence, through a pasture, and to where the suspect’s vehicle was parked at on the side of the roadway. When faced with the all evidence, the suspect gave a confession that he was in the act of stealing the generator.
Thomas Dison, 31 years of age from Nacogdoches, Texas was arrested and transported to the Nacogdoches County Jail for Theft- State Jail Felony. Constable Bridges stated that the property was returned to the rightful owner. Constable Bridges stated that his office have been conducting extra patrols in the Woden area for the last week due to some thefts. We are hoping this investigation will help clear up some of those thefts.
Way to go. Good for you for being proactive..
