Three Teenagers Arrested after Crime Spree

DIBOLL — A screwdriver-wielding robber and his two accomplices were brought down by a Diboll homeowner who had enough Tuesday evening. Kevin Cook (pictured), Joseph LeDoux and Faustino Villela, all 18, found themselves in Diboll Police custody after Cook, at 5-foot-9, 135 pounds, reportedly made the mistake of attempting to rob and stab a homeowner bigger than him. According to KETK, the trio hit the 700 block of Booker Street around 8:30 when Diboll Police dispatch received a report of a burglary in progress.

Authorities said the group bounced from house to house, gathering the items they wished to steal until Cook faced off against a 96-year-old homeowner who stood his ground. Fleeing from the home of the couple in their 90s, Cook then faced off against the homeowner who took him down. Cook was being held on a $43,000 bond Thursday afternoon, while LeDoux and Villela remained in jail on $10,000 bonds.
