ATHENS, TX- A robbery at an Athens scrap metal store ends with two people in jail.
According to Athens Police Department reports, Arthuro Delfino Resindes, 28, and Juan Cisnero Flores, 44, were in the Henderson County Jail Wednesday charged with theft of copper wire or cable.
Police say the men were arrested at Prengler Tuesday after trying to sell stolen copper wire to the business.
Total bond was set at $4,000 on Flores and $2,000 on Resindes.
Officer Lorenzo Carranza reponded to the location on U.S. Highway 175 and a short time later located the suspects. According to reports, when Carranza began to question the two men, Flores identified himself by using a false name. After being questioned the men admitted they had taken the copper from Prengler. Flores was also charged with giving a false ID to a police officer.
Flores and Resindes are being held on a federal detainer from Immigration and Customs Enforcement. According to the ICE, the filing of a detainer alerts local officials that federal immigration authorities have questions about the citizenship status of a prisoner. For such persons, ICE requests local authorities to notify the agency regarding the disposition of criminal charges.
Under Texas law, theft of wiring or cable that consists of at least 50 perscent aluminum, bronze, or copper of less than $20,000 is considered a felony
