On Sunday, October 1, 2017, a Nolan County deputy responded to the report of a suspicious white pickup that was parked in the roadway on county road 182, in Roscoe. Contact was made with Raygan Andrews, of Colorado City, who was accompanied by Crystal Brown, of Odessa.

During a roadside investigation, the deputy detected indicators of criminal activity. An Investigator with the Nolan County Sheriff’s Office then responded and assisted with the investigation. A probable cause search of the vehicle was then conducted, that led to the discovery of stolen property, a firearm, suspected methamphetamine, and paraphernalia used in its consumption.

Mr. Andrews and Ms. Brown were placed under arrest and transported to the Nolan County jail where they were charged with the felony offense of possession of controlled substance. Mr. Andrews was charged with an additional felony offense of unlawful possession of firearm by felon.

Upon further investigation, the couple was found to be in possession of items stolen during a recent burglary. Investigators with the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office and Mitchell County Sheriff’s Office assisted in recovering additional stolen items from the burglary, which had been taken to those counties. These items recovered were returned to their owner, and Mr. Andrews and Ms. Brown were charged with the felony offense of burglary of a building.
