Following the tornados that swept through Dallas this past October, Dallas County sheriff’s deputies Rebecca Evans and Joseph Bobadilla were assigned to work off-duty security at the Home Depot damaged by the storms, located off Forest Ln at 75.
However, the pair were arrested the following month for allegedly stealing items from the very store they were trying to protect.
Arrest records show that Evans, allegedly, took dozens of items from the store and gave them to Bobadilla, who would return the items at different locations for store credit. Documents show more than 70 items in total were pilfered by the two.
Well, Evans and Bobadilla were just formally indicted on these charges of theft of property over $2,500, but less than $30,000.
Their indictment states that during the time Bobadilla and Evans stole tools and hardware items, the Home Depot was in an area subject to a “declaration of a state of disaster” by Governor Greg Abbott.
