When deputies arrested different suspects for unrelated warrants, they got to call a friend to come get their vehicle. That's when the 58-year-old bleacher thief showed up.
NEW CANEY, Texas -- A Montgomery County man has been arrested after $10,000 worth of bleachers were stolen from Bull Sallas Park.The 20 bleacher planks were discovered missing on May 26 by an East Montgomery County Park maintenance manager during a routine inspection, according to Pct. 4 Commissioner James Mett's office.Photos released by Pct. 4 showed where the bleachers were missing in the park.
Investigators said they observed what appeared to be drag marks in the dirt where the bleacher planks were dragged across the field to a residence on Liberty Street, located next to the park.After interviews with nearby residents, intel led detectives to a scrap yard where the bleachers were located, and Thomley was identified as the suspect.
On the morning of July 12, Pct. 4 deputies were working an unrelated traffic stop. Since the occupants of the vehicle were being arrested for a felony narcotics charge in addition to various warrants, deputies allowed them to call a friend to take possession of their vehicle. That's when Thomley arrived at the scene, officials said. His arrest warrant for the bleacher theft had just been issued the previous day."Stealing from a county park is stealing from the youth and families of East Montgomery County," Constable Hayden said."This theft of metal has cost the County $10,000 to purchase new bleachers, thus taking away from the funds the county could spend on other improvements and maintenance to the park.
