HOWE, Texas – Howe Police Officers responded to a call of shots fired at a home in the 700 block of North Collins Freeway in Howe Thursday evening and the subsequent investigation landed a 23-year-old Howe man in the Grayson County Jail.
At approximately 9:40 p.m., neighbors called 911 to report multiple shots fired in the Pradera trailer park and upon their arrival, Dylan Kyler Lucas, who did not call 911, told officers he was the victim of a botched robbery concerning a pair of sneakers. Lucas claimed an unknown person fired three shots into the front door of his trailer before fleeing on foot.
Howe Officers Jason Jones, Sergeant Keith Milks, and Chief Carl Hudman interviewed Lucas and the other occupant of the home and recovered a firearm, a quarter ounce of marijuana, and approximately 100 Oxycodone pills which police assert Lucas were selling. There were three children under the age of five in the home.
Lucas, a convicted felon, was arrested for possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, and possession of marijuana in a drug-free zone.
The most serious narcotics charge is a first-degree felony and if convicted, Lucas faces between five and 99 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
No one was hurt in the alleged robbery and the exact cause and nature of the shooting is under investigation.
