Accomplishments

    I have conducted investigations into a multitude of homicides, assaults, person-on-person, property, and fraud crimes over the course of my 25-year career. I apprehended 11 offenders who committed over 20 separate burglaries, copper thefts, heavy equipment, and ATV thefts during the final year of my tenure. Additionally, I recovered stolen items valued at over $50,000.00. I conducted an investigation into an aggravated robbery that occurred in a game room. The perpetrator was identified during the investigation; however, they escaped to Mexico. The offender was apprehended three months later upon his return to the United States, thanks to the collaboration between the U.S. Marshall's office and U.S. Border Patrol. I conducted an investigation into a number of fraud cases, the estimated total value of which was $300,000.00. I discovered that the perpetrator of the cases was a single individual who used more than 20 aliases during the thorough investigation. I was able to locate the perpetrator in Montgomery County jail under an alias name once the true identity of the offender was determined. The offender is presently incarcerated at TDCJ and has been indicted for six felony 2 offenses.
