Tyler County Sheriff Bryan Weatherford says the recent arrest of two shoplifting suspects has also resulted in the clearing of two previous burglary cases. According to Weatherford, deputies arrested Dalton Crawford, 19, of Fred, and also an unidentified juvenile after the pair were accused of shoplifting at the Family Dollar store in Spurger on August 23rd. Since that time, Weatherford says both suspects have confessed to an August 3rd burglary of the Kountry Corner Store in Fred, and the juvenile has confessed to burglarizing that same store on June 23rd. Both have since been charged with multiple crimes.
