Events Unfold at Home Depot

The incident began at a Home Depot store on Monday, July 22nd. The U.S. Marshal’s Office had reportedly requested assistance to apprehend a man, believed to be armed, who had previously stated he would open fire if confronted by law enforcement officers.

The suspect, accompanied by a female associate, were observed leaving the Home Depot and entering a pickup truck. Authorities were alerted that the truck had been reported stolen from Huntsville.

Dramatic Car Chase and Apprehension

The pair drove away from the store, heading west on University before turning onto Spring Loop. A College Station Police officer engaged in pursuit, with speeds reportedly reaching 80 miles per hour. The chase culminated in the Chimney Hill neighborhood, where the suspects were both handcuffed after leaving their vehicle.

Identified and Charged

The driver of the stolen truck was identified as Tyler Axel Rogers, 26, of Andrews. Rogers was slapped with various charges for evading arrest, driving a stolen vehicle, and unlawfully possessing a firearm, given his previous felony convictions. Rogers had existing warrants from Texas and New Mexico, leading to his current detainment on bonds totaling $113,000.

The female passenger was identified as Danielle Castillo, 31, of Seminole, Texas. She was arrested for possession of methamphetamine and for existing warrants out of Texas for theft of a firearm and the unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. Castillo is currently held in custody with bonds totaling $61,000.

The incident has sparked considerable dialogue within the College Station community, with locals praising the coordinated efforts of the various law enforcement agencies involved. The College Station Police Department, U.S. Marshal’s Office, and Huntsville Police worked seamlessly to ensure the swift apprehension of the suspects, prioritizing public safety above all else.
