Probable Cause:
The Affiant, V. Cook, is a peace officer with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office. The Affiant has reason to believe and does believe that on or
about March 31, 2010, Defendants Raymond Thomas III, Andre Lamar Wiley, Stayve Jerome Thomas and Troy Courtney Green committed the
offense of Aggravated Robbery at 123 l O Old Foltin, Houston, Harris County, Texas. The Affiant’s belief is based on the following facts:
The Affiant spoke with the complainant, Clarence Evans, who has a criminal history but she believes him to be credible in this case. The
Complainant informed the Affiant that he was lured by text messages, which the Affiant read, to a meeting at a business leased by Defendant
Green which is located at 12310 Old Foltin, Houston, Harris County, Texas. The Complainant stated that when he arrived at the location on
March 31, 2010, he found Defendant R. Thomas, Defendant Wiley, Defendant S. Thomas and Defendant T. Green along with several other
males that have not been identified at this time. The Complainant advised that he works with the Defendants and they accused him of stealing money from them. The Complainant stated that he had not stolen money from the Defendants and was trying to explain to them his rates when
Defendant T. Thomas struck him in the face with a closed fist.
The Complainant advised that he and Defendant T. Thomas were fighting when Defendant Wiley struck him in the head with a handgun. The
Complainant advised that the blow caused his eye to swell shut. The Complainant advised that Defendant Wiley repeatedly struck him with the gun about his face. The Complainant stated that everyone then joined in and began hitting and kicking him about his person. The Complainant advised that during the assault someone removed $850 from his pants pocket. The Complainant advised that he was covering his face during the assault and was unable to see exactly who kicked him but knows it was multiple individuals. The Complainant stated that he recognized Defendant T. Thomas, Defendant S. Thomas and Defendant Wiley’s voices yelling during the altercation with the following statements being made, “Ya’ll get him and ya’ll go in his pockets.” The Complainant provided photographs of his injuries and his medical records which confirmed that he sustained a Nasal Fracture, Orbital Floor Fracture and Chest Contusions.
The Affiant spoke with Witness Theodore Williams, the Complainant’s uncle and an associate of Defendant R. Thomas. Witness Williams
advised that he spoke with Defendant R. Thomas the day after the robbery and Defendant R. Thomas told him that he and the Complainant had engaged in a fist fight and then everyone else jumped in. Witness Williams stated that Defendant R. Thomas also told him that someone had a gun.
