4 teen robbery suspects who escaped Sugar Land jail are back in custody, police say

SUGAR LAND, Texas (KTRK) — Four aggravated robbery suspects who escaped the Sugar Land jail on Sunday afternoon are back in custody, the Sugar Land Police Department (SLPD) announced.

According to authorities, the suspects are 19-year-old Edmound Guillory, 18-year-old Devontae Simon, and 17-year-olds Desean Dillard and Clayton Johnson.

SLPD said the teenagers were involved in an aggravated robbery at a CVS at 1410 Crabb River Road, where they assaulted a store clerk and fled with a bag of cash just before 2 a.m. on Sunday.

Police said the suspects were first apprehended after a pursuit with Houston police officers, but managed to escape at approximately 4:50 a.m. when an SLPD jailer went to check on one of the teens.

Officials said when the jailer opened the cell, one of the suspects assaulted him and released the other prisoners.

The four suspects were located at the First Colony Church of Christ and taken back into custody at about 6:20 p.m., police said.

Authorities said the jailer was taken to a hospital, where he is stable.

All four suspects will be transported to the Fort Bend County Jail, where they will face additional charges ranging from escape to attempted murder, SLPD said.
