On April 6, 2017, the Sheriff’s Office received a report of a suspicious vehicle seen next to the gas pumps at a gas station in Drasco.  The Sheriff’s Office has received several reports where credit card numbers have been stolen as a result of using their cards at gas stations.  On April 7, 2017, deputies located what they believed to be the same truck, at the gas pumps at the same gas station from the report taken the day before.  Deputies identified the occupants, but didn’t have enough evidence for any charges at that time, and they were released.  Through further investigation, the Sheriff’s Office contacted Conway PD, and asked for their assistance in apprehending the men who were then in Conway.  A search warrant was served on their hotel room, and the three individuals were arrested. Maikys Perez-Sobrado, 35, of Las Vegas, Luis Martinez, 29, of Houston, and Yasel Yedra, 34, of Miami, were all booked into the Cleburne County Jail for Breaking and Entering, and Criminal Trespass.
