A Bryan man awaiting four criminal trials in Brazos County district court was arrested last Saturday (November 30) for switching price tags at the College Station Target. Arrest reports from College Station police say surveillance video showed 53 year old Troy Tarver paid $93.07 for merchandise that was valued at $679.79. That led to Tarver’s arrest for theft and fraud. Online records show Tarver was released from jail December 1 after posting bonds totaling $7,000 dollars. Online records also show Tarver returned to jail December 4 on a theft charge from November 19, then was released after posting an $8,000 dollar bond. Online court records show Tarver is awaiting trial for felony theft with prior convictions that took place in 2022 and three felony drug cases that took place in 2023.
A 17 year old Bryan man awaiting a criminal trial for striking someone over the age of 65 with the intent to injure them, returns to jail on charges of violating a protection order by threatening a College Station woman with a gun. Ethan Weeks is also accused in arrest reports from College Station police of removing an ankle monitor associated with the bond in a case unrelated to his latest arrest. As of December 6, Weeks remains held in lieu of bonds totaling $75,500 dollars.
