Police arrest home invasion robbery suspects in Bryan neighborhood

Police have arrested four people involved in a home invasion and robbery Thursday in Bryan at the 1000 block of Antone street.

Damion Cravens, Matthew Nicholson, Johanna Kingston, and Sally Countless were all charged with aggravated robbery. Cravens and Nicholson were also charged with unlawfully carrying a firearm. All four are also facing various drug charges. Bryan Police said the four suspects are from San Antonio.

Officers said the crime happened just before noon at a home on Antone Street. Police located two vehicles allegedly used in the crime, with help from witnesses and victims.

"Officer's were in the right place at the right time," says Sgt. Lance Matthews of the Bryan Police Department. "I believe that either a resident or a witness was following the vehicle. They might have given up to the minute information on the suspects and the vehicles."

Benjamin Walker is the home owner, and the man who followed the suspects in his own van. He says he wanted to get anything that could help police. Walker says they stormed into his property and stole whatever they wanted.

"One gentleman walked through the door and put a gun to my brother's head," says Walker. "Then two other people came in there with him with a large bag and started snagging stuff and throwing it in the bag. They made my brother put his phone down and tried to keep him quiet."

Walker says he was in the other room moving furniture with his girlfriend when people first came into his home through the front door. He didn't hear anything until his brother,Taylor Tumlinson, called out his name. That's when they say the suspects fled the scene.

Investigators believe one of the suspects knew one of the residents. Walker says he may have been targeted because of recent posts on social media where he said he was going to be out of town for work.

"Posted a couple of things on Facebook about going to Canyon Lake for a couple of days," says Walker. "And it might have been some one that knew me or knew that I was trying to start my own company and that I had some tools."

After the arrests were made all of the stolen property, which mainly consisted of tools, was returned to Walker. However, he's just happy everyone came out of it safe.

"I'm glad that no one got hurt. I am glad my girlfriend's daughters weren't here today. I am especially glad my brother is fine. Material stuff is replaceable, people aren't," said Walker.

Aggravated robbery is a first degree felony and can result in a punishment as large as 99 years in prison.
