Case Closed
The CID may not always get its man (or woman), but we do get quite a few. Here are some
recent examples:
Back to Jail
King
Bobby Antweon King, 46, of Fort Worth, was convicted of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.
During an amusement machine inspection, the defendant was found to have a handgun on his person. Due to prior
felony convictions, and King possessing a firearm away from his residence, he was charged with unlawful
possession of a firearm by felon. The defendant also struck a police officer in the face with his fist and
pushed another officer causing pain and bodily injury.
A Tarrant County district judge sentenced King to four years’ incarceration (with 247 days jail time credit) for
unlawful possession of a firearm, a third-degree felony punishable by two to 10 years in prison and a fine of up
to $10,000. The court dismissed the charge for assault on a peace officer.
Do The Crime, Serve The Time

Pedro Julio Ruiz-Llanes, 34, of Burleson, was convicted of engaging in organized criminal activity.
Between November and December 2023, the defendant and his co-defendants illegally acquired fuel by using pulsar
tampering devices and stolen credit card information. The defendant used vehicles modified for the purpose of
acquiring, transporting and delivering motor fuel.
A Delta County district judge sentenced Ruiz-Llanes to five years’ incarceration (with 794 days jail time
credit) for engaging in organized criminal activity, a first-degree felony punishable by five to 99 years in
prison and a fine up to $10,000. The sentence will be served in the correctional institution division of the
