Police Find Wanted Man While Following Up On A Suspected Burglary In Progress
Sulphur Springs Police responded to a possible burglary in progress on South Locust Street at 11:50 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 20, 2021. Upon arrival, they observed a man inside the residence in question.
The 28-year-old Como man did not have the owner or lessee’s permission to be there. He allegedly exited the back window of the residence, where he was detained by officers. EMS was contacted and responded at the location after the man complained of arm pain, but the officers indicated it did not appear to be broken, SSPD Officer Silas Whaley noted in arrest reports.
A records check showed the man, identified in arrest reports as Jovanni Vargas, to have an outstanding warrant for his arrest for an assault of a family or household member that impeded circulation or breathing, Whaley noted in arrest reports. The Como man was arrested at 12:17 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 21, 2021, and transported to jail, and booked for criminal trespassing as well as the warrant for the March 2019 felony assault charge.
Vargas’ bond was set at $2,000 on the trespassing charge, but was held Monday evening, Nov. 22, 2021, on the other.
