Suspect Arrested For Theft of A Firearm

Back in August during the Schulenburg Festival, officers took a report for a vehicle which had been broken into. The suspect entered the vehicle without permission from the owner and stole a rifle. An investigation was launched and the firearm was tracked to a pawn shop in Houston. The suspect was captured on video pawning the firearm and was positively identified.

A warrant was obtained for his arrest and on Monday, Sept. 19, at approximately 10:15 p.m. Officers located the suspect, Treyvon Phillips (23), of Weimar, who was arrested on a warrant charging him with theft of a firearm. Treyvon was transported to the Dan R. Beck Justice Center where he was released to jail staff.
