Man arrested in connection with burglary
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office dispatch received a call around 5:50 a.m. Friday about a burglary in progress at a Check ’n’ Go in the 2500 block of Interstate 45 in South Montgomery County.
Three witnesses who were driving by the location said they saw a subject with a pry bar attempting to open the front door of the business. The witnesses parked their car nearby and attempted to catch the person. As the witnesses approached the business, the man already had entered the business. As the man attempted to leave, the witnesses held the door shut in an attempt to keep him contained inside the business until law enforcement arrived. The man was able to escape from inside the business and ran away from the area.
Sometime later, a male matching the description of the burglar was seen walking in the area. Law enforcement officers detained the suspect. In a combined investigative effort by the MCSO Patrol Division, Detective Division, Crime Scene Investigations Division and the CISD Police Department, Tony Curtis Meadows, 27, was arrested and is being held in the Montgomery County Jail in lieu of a $5,000 bond for burglary of a building.
That same Check ’n’ Go was the site of an armed robbery Aug. 9 when a man robbed employees at gunpoint after he entered the store during business hours.
Sgt. Melvin Franklin said there was no connection between the two incidents.
