Area Law Enforcement Agencies Investigate Incident at Banks, Austin Street in Center

October 10, 2016 - The intersection of Banks Street and Austin Street was a point of interest for many traveling the Center Square early Monday evening as Austin Street was blocked by law enforcement officers performing an investigation.

Sometime just before 7pm October 10, 2016 officers with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), Center Police Department and Shelby County Sheriff's Department converged on the location.

The Shelby County Sheriff's Department alerted DPS of a possible altercation between two vehicles and the occupant of one vehicle displaying a firearm. Once the individuals in the vehicles finally stopped on Austin Street, they were all detained and placed in handcuffs during investigation.

The individuals were determined to be connected with an incident earlier in the day involving a possible stolen RV which the Sheriff's Department was already in the process of investigating.

Once the investigation at the scene was completed, the individuals from the two vehicles were released. The RV was then retrieved and transported to the Shelby County Sheriff's Department pending further investigation.

More information on this incident will be provided as it is made available.
