Armed La Porte Business Man Detains Woman Caught Breaking Into Cars

LA PORTE, TX -- A woman who was caught breaking into a car at in business in La Porte might have gotten away scot-free if hadn’t been for a Morgan’s Point Police Officer who agreed to help out.

The La Porte Police were notified of the incident on Monday, but were too short-handed to send an officer to the 1400 block of West Main Street right away, so they asked the Morgan’s Point Police for a helping hand.

When the officer arrived at the business at about 5 p.m., he found the woman lying on the ground in the parking lot and the armed manager from the business holding the woman until police were able to get there.

Dana Sublett, 42, was detained by the Morgan’s Point police until La Porte police could arrive, officers said.

Sublett was accused of entering and damaging the interiors of three unlocked pickup trucks.

The La Porte woman will face charges for the burglary of a motor vehicle, police said.

She was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail.
