COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Two people have been arrested after being found with a stolen bike trailer, several stolen bikes and drugs in a College Station park, according to court documents released Wednesday.
Michelle Vanhyning, 37, of Bryan, is charged with theft, possession of marijuana and giving false identification information to a police officer. Kenneth Stone Jr., 42, of Bryan, is charged with two counts of theft of property greater than $2,500. He has two or more previous theft convictions on his record, according to the Brazos County Jail.
College Station police officers responded to Bee Creek Park on the 1900 block of Anderson Street on Monday after a man told them he found his stolen bike trailer in a homeless camp in the woods. After approaching the trailer, officers said they found Vanhyning, who gave them a different name, but told officers she lived at the camp with Stone.
Officers said a short time later, Stone arrived on scene. He told officers he had found the trailer in the woods, but did admit to knowing the bikes were stolen, police said. Stone also admitted to trading the stolen bikes as payment for methamphetamine, according to court documents.
