Tyler County Sheriff Bryan Weatherford said Monday that he and his deputies had made an arrest in connection with several burglaries that recently occurred in Colmesneil and the surrounding area. Weatherford identified the suspect as Dustin Brooks, 46 of Colmesneil, who is accused of burglarizing the Victory Baptist Church. However, Weatherford said Brooks was also a suspect in the burglary of a home in the area. In addition, Weatherford said Brooks might also be a suspect in other recent church burglaries that occurred in Polk and Orange Counties. Bond on Brooks was set at just over $1million and at last word he was still being held at the Tyler County Jail in Woodville.
