HOWE, Texas – A Tuesday night call to 9-1-1 landed two Howe men in the Grayson County Jail on a variety of felony charges.
At approximately 9:30 p.m., a concerned citizen called 9-1-1 to report two men in a vehicle outside an apartment building yelling at residents and propositioning women. Officer Oscar Martinez responded and in the course of his investigation, he determined both men were intoxicated and he found open bottles of beer and a baggie of cocaine in their car.
Fredis Arano-Funez, 26, admitted the cocaine was his and he was arrested on that charge. Officer Martinez was speaking with the other man, 21-year-old Suyen Funes-Marquez, who became argumentative and verbally threatened to kill Officer Martinez.
Funez-Marquez was arrested for Retaliation, an offense that occurs when an individual threatens to harm someone by an unlawful act in retaliation for or on account of the service or status of another as a public servant.
Both men were booked into the Grayson County Jail.
