Deputies with Montgomery County Precinct 4 Constable Kenneth “Rowdy” Hayden’s Office have taken a wanted felon into custody who is believed to be responsible for multiple felony thefts throughout the Holiday season, as well as an aggravated robbery that occurred just last week.
The investigation started back in mid-late December when PCT 4 Deputies working the Safe Shopper Program connected a few Theft cases together that occurred at local retail stores. The same suspect struck again on December 30th at the Walmart in New Caney. This time, however, he brandished a knife when confronted by employees at the exit. The suspect fled again, so Deputies amped up their investigation. After digging some more into security footage and witness statements, Deputies were able to put a name to the person responsible and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
On Tuesday 1/11/2022. Deputies with MCCO PCT 4 arrested James Riley (40, Porter) for Aggravated Robbery and three counts of Felony Theft. Riley is currently on parole for Possession of a Controlled Substance, and on bond for a DWI. He is also a suspect in multiple Felony Theft cases in several jurisdictions. Riley was booked in and transported to the Montgomery County Jail.
“This arrest is the direct result of textbook police work,” stated Constable Hayden. “My guys gathered the evidence, followed up on every lead, then executed an arrest warrant seamlessly. I couldn’t be prouder of them!”
