BROWNSVILLE, Texas (ValleyCentral) — An 18-year-old man, identified as Ricardo Patrick Emery, has been arrested in connection with a burglary at Sunrise Mall, according to the Brownsville Police Department.
On Monday, officers with the McAllen Police Department attempted to approach a man seen with a vehicle reported stolen from Brownsville. The suspect fled on foot, prompting a brief pursuit.
