On Friday, May 10, 2024 at approximately 7:22 AM, Precinct 8 Deputy Ramirez with Constable Phil Sandlin’s Office was dispatched to an assault call in the 300 block of Viceroy Dr. Upon arrival, Deputy Ramirez was advised the two female suspects involved left the scene leaving their vehicle behind. Deputy Ramirez observed the suspect vehicle to be illegally parked and had it towed. At approximately 10:50 AM, Deputy Ramirez was dispatched to the storage lot in the 8000 block of Galveston Rd where the two female suspects were located. Deputy Ramirez arrived on scene and identified 38 year old Laura Maria Espinoza and 19 year old Mya Renee Espinoza. A check of Laura’s information revealed an open warrant for Probation Violation.
