College Station Police Seek Armed and Dangerous Man Linked to Burglary

The College Station Police Department (CSPD) has issued a warning for Sedrick Darnell, a 28-year-old resident of College Station, who is wanted in connection to a recent burglary and is considered armed and dangerous. Darnell’s involvement in the incident has raised concerns among local residents, prompting authorities to increase public awareness and vigilance.

The burglary incident occurred early Thursday morning, May 29, when Darnell reportedly kicked in the front door of a home located in the 800 block of Harvey Road. Witnesses have stated that Darnell was wearing a ski mask and was armed with a machete during the invasion. According to reports, he was searching for a specific individual at the time of the break-in.

During the course of the incident, Darnell confronted a child who was present in the home and demanded to know the location of the child’s mother. The mother was not home at the time, and it was reported that Darnell allegedly assaulted the child before fleeing from the scene. The CSPD received a 911 call at approximately 3:30 a.m. when the burglary was in progress, prompting officers to respond quickly.

Officers later located Darnell during a traffic stop, where they observed a machete in the passenger seat of his vehicle. Upon identifying himself with his driver’s license, Darnell fled the scene of the traffic stop, leading officers on a high-speed chase down Highway 6 and into Grimes County. The pursuit was subsequently terminated by the CSPD due to safety concerns for the public and other drivers on the road.

Darnell is currently wanted on multiple charges, including Burglary of a Habitation, Injury to a Child, and Evading Arrest/Detention in a Motor Vehicle. Police are urging anyone who may have information regarding Darnell’s whereabouts to contact 911 or the College Station Police Department at (979) 764-3600. Darnell’s behavior during the incident highlights the need for community caution and assistance in apprehending individuals who pose a risk to public safety.

Background on the Incident

The disruption of a home invasion, especially one that involves children, can have lasting effects on victims and witnesses.

With significant community outreach efforts, CSPD aims to bolster public awareness regarding criminal activity and encourage prompt reporting of suspicious behavior. Authorities emphasize that the safety of residents is paramount and community cooperation is essential in resolving incidents like the recent burglary linked to Darnell.

As the investigation continues, police hope that sharing information about Darnell’s description and his dangerous actions will lead to his capture.
