One journey-
man got quite
a scare
Monday
afternoon
when his foot
got stuck
while he was
working a job
on a tower in
Anahuac.
Bellow him, a
fellow worker
is climbing up
to assist. The
journeyman
was able to
disentangle
his foot from
the rope
before the
worker got to
him.

Be sure to buckle up
Three Houston men were
arrested Monday for a
Baytown robbery after a
Harris County sheriff’s deputy
stopped them for not wearing
seatbelts.
Police were called to the
Golden Corral restaurant in
the 4600 block of Garth Road
shortly before 4 p.m. in refer-
ence to a robbery. A restaurant
employee reported he had
returned to the business from
the bank and was walking into
the restaurant with a money
bag when a man approached
him from behind and grabbed
the bag from him.
A short time later, a sheriff’s
deputy working seatbelt
enforcement at the intersec-
tion of Beltway 8 and
Wallisville Road stopped a
vehicle because it appeared
that two of the three occupants
were not wearing seat belts.
When the deputy stopped
the car, there was currency
strewn around the interior,
police said.
Along with cash, police also
found a handgun and trace
amounts of cocaine in the car,
along with money wraps from
the Baytown branch of Bank
of America. That led sheriff’s
officers to call Baytown
police, who confirmed they
were searching for a vehicle
matching the same descrip-
tion.
Police interviewed the three
men. One of them cooperated,
police said.
The three men arrested were
identified as Eric Demond
Mayes, 23, Dominic
Washington, 24 and Amesta
Tyrone Gibson, 31. All were
charged with felony theft from
a person, police said.
Animal control checks pit bulls’
condition following welfare call
An investigation into
possible animal cruelty in
the 1100 block of North
Shepherd Drive on
Tuesday found three dogs
that appeared very thin,
but no clear evidence of
neglect or abuse, accord-
ing to Baytown spokes-
woman Patti Jett.
She said animal control
officers received an e-
mail with pictures of the
animals Tuesday morn-
ing, and started an inves-
tigation. Animal control
officers went to the home
accompanied by a police
officer.
Photos of the animals
were also sent to The
Baytown Sun. They
showed three dogs, which
appear to be pit bulls,
with visible ribs and
spine ridges. However, no
signs of skin problems or
injuries could be seen.
She said the three dogs
had more than adequate
shelter and had fresh
water - meeting require-
ments of state law.
Further, the owner was
able to produce evidence
the dogs had all been seen
by a vet and received
treatment on May 1.
Jett said animal control
investigators would speak
with the vet about the
condition of the animals,
but was not sure late
Tuesday afternoon if that
contact had yet been
made.
Jett said animal control
officials would continue
to monitor the condition
of the animals and contin-
ue to work with the owner
to ensure they were prop-
erly cared for.
“We’re not just going to
go out and look, then go
away,” Jett quoted health
department director Mike
Lester as saying.
POLICE BEAT
Oops!
Police arrested an 18-
year-old Baytown man
after he backed out of a
business in the 900 block
of East Fayle and ran his
vehicle into the chain link
fencing at the city’s Fire
Department Station 4. The
man was charged with
driving under the influ-
ence, according to police.
Bad timing
Police said the owner of
a trailer he’d left at a truck
stop in the 1700 block of
Interstate 10 drove up to
that parked trailer about
10:25 a.m. Monday and
found a man about to steal
it.
The suspect, a Houston
man, was putting tires on
the trailer and apparently
preparing to haul it away.
That suspect went to jail
on a theft charge, police
said.
