Burglary Suspects in Custody

TYLER – A joint investigation between the Smith County Sheriff’s Office and Henderson County has led to the arrest of Joshua Shapley, 30, in connection with several thefts and burglaries in southwest Smith County and eastern Henderson County. During a traffic stop on April 25, a DPS Trooper found a gun, a television, and jewelry inside Shapley’s vehicle. It was determined that these items were from a burglary he had just allegedly committed in Frankston. Shapley is currently in the Henderson County Jail facing charges and is expected to face additional charges in Smith County. Officials said Brandy Hedricks (pictured), 28, who is said to be a known associate of Shapley’s, was taken into custody Wednesday night.
