NAVASOTA POLICE MAKE ARRESTS IN CRIMINAL MISCHIEF CASES
(Grimes Co. Jail)
Five suspects have been arrested on criminal mischief charges after several months of investigation by Navasota police.
Police have been investigating reports of vandalism over the last few months, beginning in April, where the windows of houses and vehicles were shot out by BB gun pellets. There were also several reports of people being shot at with BB guns.
Monday, police executed several warrants and arrested five people, three of which were juveniles. The two adults arrested were 18-year-olds Ke’Eric Moore and Tony Mallard, both 2019 graduates of Navasota High School.

All five suspects were charged with Criminal Mischief, a state jail felony, and Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity-Aggravated Assault, a first-degree felony.
During questioning, the suspects admitted to shooting around 70 windows and ten people. According to police, the suspects said they shot the vehicle windows because they were bored. Damages reported totaled over $15,000.
Moore and Mallard were taken to the Grimes County Jail, while the juveniles were released to their parents.
At the age of 18 they both should have jobs, maybe they would not have been bored! This is horrible. Plenty of trash on the highways that need to be picked up, give them some manual labor to keep them from being bored! Ridiculous!
Get a job and you wouldn’t be bored!
“According to police, the suspects said they shot the vehicle windows because they were bored.” Enough is enough, how about lets give them something to do, there are some opportunities to keep busy for these young men, I am thinking a work gang at a Texas State Prison. What kind of people think it is OK to harm and damage other peoples property because they are “bored”. I sincerely hope law enforcement “throws the book” at these people and teaches them a lesson and makes an example out of them for other bored young people.
Unfortunately, it is not politically correct to hold anyone responsible. I agree that these brats need to be put to work, the same goes for adults who commit crimes. White Collar criminals never seem to get anything more than a slap on the wrist. They all need to pay full restitution in addition to jail/fines. I am sick of the excuses.
