(August 27, 2008)—Sammie Ford, Jr. was in custody Wednesday in Milam County in connection with an early-morning home invasion robbery Tuesday in the rural Ben Arnold community between Rosebud and Cameron on Highway 77.
The residents told investigators two men broke through the front door of their home and held them at gunpoint, stealing cell phone and a video camera.
Evidence led sheriff’s deputies to a restaurant in Rockdale where Ford was arrested late Tuesday night, the Milam County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday.
In a search of a motel room early Wednesday morning, deputies found evidence linked to the robbery and seized four bags of cocaine weighing about 95 grams, a brick of cocaine weighing more that 1,000 grams and a small amount of marijuana, the sheriff’s office said.
They also recovered $3,400 in cash.
The drugs are valued at more than $115,000, deputies said.
Investigators are still searching for the second suspect in the robbery and asked anyone with information to call the Milam County Sheriff’s Office at 254-697-7033 or 254-482-0941.
