The BPD arrest report says an undercover officer saw during the midnight hour on New Year’s Eve in the Alamosa Springs subdivision, a man walking a dog who matched the descriptions given by witnesses and surveillance video that was seen pulling on vehicle door handles.
Five uniformed officers, a sergeant, and a drone were also involved in tracking then stopping the suspect after he was seen walking in the middle of Jones Road in violation of traffic laws.
The arrest report says Tameron Ballard told officers he was “being dumb” for stealing cash and a pair of sunglasses.
Ballard is out of jail after posting bonds totaling $2,125 dollars on charges of misdemeanor theft and a minor in possession of tobacco.
After the arrest, BPD issued a news release saying a search of Ballard’s person and vehicle led to the discovery of additional stolen property linking him to other crimes committed in the area.
During that period, BPD daily activity reports showed five vehicle burglary reports in Alamosa Springs, four in other parts of town, and seven burglaries of homes or buildings around the city.
The news release says anyone with information related to these crimes is asked to call BPD at (979) 209-5300.
