A complaint about a reported trespasser led to the arrest of a Red Oak man late Saturday night. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department says 21-year old Jesus Garcia-Rodriguez, of Red Oak, was taken into custody at around 11:40-p.m., on a charge of OWI/1st Offense.

Officials say his arrest was the result of a trespass complaint filed by a resident on Ginko Avenue in Red Oak. Garcia-Rodriguez was located in the driveway of 2360 Highway 48. During their investigation, deputies determined the man had been drinking. After Garcia-Rodriguez was given and failed a Field Sobriety Test, he was placed under arrest and transported to the Montgomery County Jail, where he was being held on $1.000 bond.
