An anonymous call led Jasper Police to Lufkin where they were arrested. According to Jasper Detective Mike Poindexter, the pair were picked up on warrants from other cities and then allegedly confessed to the P.N Ashy robberies.

"I interviewed two of them and they gave me a confession on all three of the burglaries," Poindexter said.

Poindexter said the duo confessed to breaking a window at the store to gain entrance as well as confessing to a burglary of a Jasper residence.

"We were able to get back some of the money that was missing from Ms. Ashy, not near as much as she had missing though," Poindexter said.
