KYLE — Following a multi-agency investigation, the last of three Houston-area suspects connected to commercial burglaries, ranging from the Kyle area to Houston, was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service Lone Star Fugitive Task Force March 5.
On Nov. 12, the suspects targeted multiple Poco Loco locations, stealing cash as they traveled from Kyle toward Houston. During the investigation, the Kyle Police Department, in conjunction with Hays County Sheriff’s Office detectives, identified the suspects. Working with regional partner agencies, investigators were able to link them to other burglary investigations.
As a result, KPD and HCSO charged Cedric Ryan Scales Jr., 19, Isaiah Jacob Jaramillo, 23, and Ca’Den Dejuan Johnson, 21, all of Houston, with burglary of a building and engaging in organized criminal activity.
Johnson was arrested Dec. 8, by the Angleton Police Department in connection with a separate robbery. Jaramillo was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Service Lone Star Fugitive Task Force on Jan. 13 and Scales was arrested March 5, also by the task force.
All three arrests were connected to a separate stolen firearms investigation in Angleton, Texas.
Hays County Sheriff Anthony Hipolito said, “I’m grateful for my relationship with [KPD] Chief [Jeff] Barnett and the Kyle Police Department. I’m thoroughly impressed with the collaboration and dedication shown by investigators from both agencies.”
“These arrests are the result of strong collaboration between our department and partner law enforcement agencies,” said Barnett. “By working together, we were able to identify and apprehend these suspects and hold them accountable for crimes committed across the region.”
