(Ed.'s Note: Thes fine-looking gentes not only got caught allegedly robbing and stealing, but they also ran afoul of the city's disaster declaration. The declaration not only gives government officials the ability to charge someone with a crime, but when it i s in effect, the crime goes up one degree in seriousness.
With Texas under a statewide disaster declaration, it is important to note that a number of crimes are enhanced by one degree.
According to Texas Penal Code §12.50, in the case of a disaster declaration, the following crimes are increased by one degree if committed during the disaster:
Assault
Arson
Robbery
Burglary
Burglary of coin-operated machines
Burglary of vehicles
Criminal Trespass
Theft
So if you're kicking the Coke machine and money comes out and you get nabbed, the offense just went up a notch. Ya sabes.
