Overview
- Houston police took 56-year-old Bobby John Henry into custody Friday evening after a resident recorded a Braeswood apartment break-in and alerted 911.
- Henry is charged with six felony counts of burglary of a habitation tied to a string of Montrose-area cases, according to court records.
- Officials say he entered homes through open windows and a doggy door during the day, targeting jewelry, electronics and family heirlooms that were often sold to pawn shops.
- Authorities publicly identified Henry at a March 6 Precinct 1 news conference using surveillance video, and investigators are reviewing additional cases for possible links.
- Court records show his bond had not been set and a preliminary court appearance is scheduled for Monday, as investigators note an extensive criminal history and outstanding warrants in Travis and Milam counties.
