Texas man charged with helping couple suspected of St. Paul arsons to evade authorities. Authorities say that Jose Felan Jr. and his wife, Mena Dyaha Yousif, may have fled to Mexico.
The search for a married couple suspected of setting arson fires during the protests and riots that followed George Floyd’s death has led federal agents to Texas, where on Thursday they charged a relative with helping the couple evade authorities.
Leeroy Felan, 29, was arrested by deputy U.S. marshals in Carrizo Springs, Texas, on Tuesday, and a federal indictment unsealed Thursday charges him with lying to authorities and helping to transport his brother Jose Felan Jr. and his sister-in-law, Mena Dyaha Yousif, to help them escape.
Leeroy Felan is on federal supervised release for a 2015 conviction of one count of conspiracy to transport illegal aliens, a crime for which he was sentenced to 36 months in prison. He will appear in federal court in Del Rio, Tex., July 31 for a preliminary hearing, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
