A tip provided by a local pawn clerk led to the arrest of three Aledo teenagers suspected of perpetrating a recent home burglary.

An Xbox game system, games, a GPS system, a digital camera and numerous jewelry items were reported stolen from a home in the 100 block of Tealwood Lane May 6.

During the investigation that followed, a clerk reported witnessing three suspects who pawned items similar to those reported stolen.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, two of the suspects implicated themselves in the crime during subsequent interviews.

Aledo residents Seth Allen Waters, 17, Jessey Lee Dollar, 17, and Bradley Travis Olsen, 19, were taken into custody Sunday, charged with burglary of a habitation.

Waters, who was also arrested by Willow Park Police in March for burglary of a building, remained jailed Monday.

Authorities did not disclose the name of the pawn shop or the identity of the vigilant clerk.

Wildlife volunteers needed
Like any other mother, Donna Robinson has pictures of her “babies” on her phone.
“Let me show you,” she said eagerly. “I’ve got lots of pictures of the kids.”
She scrolls through the photos — there’s one of a squirrel with milk on its mouth after a feeding. Oh, there’s a cute one of two tiny possums looking over her shoulder as she feeds another “baby.” Aww, there’s the group of four raccoons named after the Beatles: Ringo, Paul, George and John.
Ok. She’s not your “ordinary” mom.

Water woes on floodplain in Weatherford
When Wendy Walling purchased her home in the Briarwood subdivision off of Sante Fe Drive in the mid-1990s, her son could easily jump from one side of the small creek behind the home to the other.
“My son was in fourth grade (when we moved in) and he could actually jump across the creek,” Walling said.
By 2007, however, Walling said the width of the creek had begun to expand.
“(The creek) can hold water now and before it never could,” Walling said.
