MULTI-COUNTY BURGLARY SUSPECTS INDICTED

  

Three Navasota men, who are suspected of committing burglaries in both Lee and Washington Counties, were indicted by a Lee County Grand Jury.

19-year-old Lucius Bertice Byrd, 28-year-old Gregory Wayne Chatman II, and 25-year-old Desnick Jaquan Chatman were each charged with two counts of Burglary of a Building, three charges of Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity-Burglary of a Habitation, and Theft of a Firearm.

Desnick Chatman received an extra charge of Evading Arrest or Detention With a Vehicle.

All three were arrested back on May 12 after a property owner through use of surveiliance caught them on his land which is located on County Road 127 at FM 180.

Lee County Sheriff’s Deputies observed them attempting to leave on an ATV that was reportedly taken from the property.

All three were arrested a short time later. One of the weapons recovered turned out to be a firearm that was reported stolen from Washington County. 

On May 16, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office issued arrest warrants for the trio in connection with other burglary investigations. 

Byrd and the Chatmans are still at the Lee County Jail in Giddings.  If any of them get released on bond, they will be transferred to Washington County to face additional charges.
