Two men were arrested on burglary and other charges this week, following an extensive investigation into burglaries at two businesses in Red Oak. Red Oak Police said Wednesday, 22-year old Aaron Gar Nelson and 23-year old Eric Alan Vannausdale, both of Red Oak, face felony charges of Burglary in the 3rd degree. Nelson was also charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance/Marijuana, after officers found the drug on his possession after he turned himself-in to the Red Oak Police Department. Both men were being held Wednesday in the Montgomery County Jail on $5,000 cash bond, each.
Officials say their arrests stem from an investigation into burglaries that occurred Sunday at the Washboard Laundromat at 400 E. Washington Avenue, and the Hair Corner Salon at 308 N. 4th Street, in Red Oak. The suspects are alleged to have taken several items from both businesses, with an estimated value of $800.
