According to Fayette County Sheriff Keith Korenek, deputies received information about two suspect vehicles that had been involved in a robbery in Cedar Park, and were believed to be heading East towards the Houston area.

The suspects are said to have been surveilling a small business owner before following, assaulting, and robbing their victim.  They, then, fled the scene.

Deputy A.J. Gonzales and an unmarked unit located the vehicles traveling together on Highway 71.

Gonzales and other law enforcement officers conducted a felony traffic stop on one of the vehicles.  Meanwhile, Deputy Rick Bohlmann along with several Deputies and La Grange Police Officers conducted a felony traffic stop on the other vehicle.

The suspects in each vehicle were detained. They are identified as 55-year-old John Carter of Manvel, 44-year-old Rodney Wilson of Missouri City, 42-year-old Roderick Glenn of Houston and 27-year-old Shawn Johnson of Houston.

A large amount of currency believed to be taken in the robbery was located inside one of the vehicles, along with equipment for surveilling targets.

The suspects, vehicles, and evidence were transported to the Dan R. Beck Justice Center and later released to detectives from the Cedar Park Police Department. The suspects are all charged with engaging in organized crime with robbery, a first-degree felony.
