COLMESNEIL – An attempted ATM robbery by two Houston men was foiled on Sunday, according to Tyler County Sheriff Bryan Weatherford.
Weatherford said that an alarm was sounded at the Citizens State Bank ATM in Colmesneil at 6 p.m. on Sunday morning, and when deputies arrived on the scene, they observed a Black male, partially standing behind the machine.
When the deputies walked forward and began to give the subject commands, another male, who was dressed in all black, began to run toward a wooded area.
After a chase, the deputies were able to arrest Derrick Daray Nash, a 28-year-old Houston man, and the second male suspect, remained on the lam for the time being.
When investigating the scene, Weatherford said the deputies discovered the ATM door damaged, a lock busted and a pry bar sticking out.
Nash, who was booked into the Tyler County Jail and interviewed, was able to provide a clothing description and an identification of the other individual, 49-year-old Brandon Deshon Evans, also of Houston.
Later in the morning, at 9:40 a.m., TCSO received information about a Black male laying on the side of the highway, at the intersection of US 69 and Recreational Road 255.
They were able to locate and identify the man as Evans, who was still wearing two-tone color high-top sneakers that he was observed to be wearing at the scene of the attempted robbery.
He was booked into the jail, and charged with felony burglary of a building, unlawful use of criminal instrument and evading arrest. His bond was set at $120,000 by Pct. 1 Justice of the Peace Tina Self.
Judge Self set Nash’s bond at $140,000. He was charged with felony burglary of a building; unlawful use of criminal instrument; evading arrest and possession of marijuana. Both suspects are still in custody.
