A Chandler Police officer was arrested Monday in connection with an alleged break-in and assault at a home in the Brownsboro area.
Thirty-year-old Ryan Michael Wilcox was booked into the Henderson County Jail Monday afternoon and released a short time later after posting $2,500 bond.
The Henderson County Sheriff’s Department received a call from a woman Monday night telling of the incident. According to the complaint, Wilcox entered the home at about 2:30 a.m. Sunday.
Because the accused in the case is a police officer, the investigation is being conducted by Texas Ranger Trace McDonald.
McDonald, who was working on his arrest report Tuesday, said he did not wish to reveal the address of the break-in or the identity of the victim at this time. He said the break-in was not an attempt to steal from the victim.
“It wasn’t a theft type situation,” McDonald said. “It was a case of him entering a home without consent and committing an assault.”
According to the Texas Penal Code, a person commits a burglary if he or she “enters a habitation, or a building (or any portion of a building) not then open to the public, with intent to commit a felony, theft or an assault”
McDonald and Henderson County Sheriff’s Department Investigator Michael Teal arrested Wilcox without incident.
Athens Review attempts to reach Chandler Police Chief Ron Reeves concerning Wilcox’s arrest were unsuccessful Wednesday.
