Murphy, TX – The Wylie Police Department received information that led investigators to obtain arrest warrants for subjects believed to be responsible for the Robbery at the Burger King in Wylie, TX.? Two suspects to the robbery in Wylie were questioned and confessed to investigators that the same three males also robbed the 7-11 Convenience Store in Murphy, Texas on the morning of August 16.

Arrest warrants for Aggravated Robbery, a first degree felony, related to the Wylie robbery, were obtained for Miguel Valdez, 17, Samuel Ortiz, 19, and Juan Ortiz, 21, all of Wylie.?

Miguel Valdez and Samuel Ortiz were taken into custody without incident on Friday, August 21 in Plano, TX.? Juan Ortiz remains at large.

On Sunday August 16, 2009, in the early morning hours, the 7-11 store at 721 East FM 544, in Murphy, Texas was robbed at gun point by 3 unknown male subjects. The suspects had their faces covered and they spoke with an accent, possibly Hispanic.

Official charges are pending against the three suspects identified in this press release for the Murphy 7-11 robbery. Several pieces of evidence related to the robbery have been recovered including the weapon believed to have been used to commit the offense in Murphy.

It was just four months ago that the United States Department of Agriculture confiscated one lion and two tigers from a for-profit entertainment facility in Kauffman, TX and placed the neglected exotic cats with In-Sync Exotics.?

On Friday, July 10th, the USDA once again returned to In-Sync Exotics, this time with three rare white lions. The two male and one female lions were removed from the same Kauffman facility for similar reasons as in the March confiscations. All three white lions are suffering from various levels of ataxia which is a condition that causes a loss or impairment of muscular coordination and in some cases is characterized by involuntary trembling.

The males are estimated to be between 8-10 years old. Both are underweight, have multiple open sores and their coats are dull and dirty. “Shazam” has no mane at all which the USDA veterinarian said could be from a vitamin deficiency and/or the lion rubbing his mane off due to stress.

The other male, “Jazz” has a mane that resembles Michael Bolton’s hair. The mane is in poor condition and badly matted.

The female, “Diamond,” is estimated to be about 18 months old and although she looks the best of the three, she has difficulty holding her head upright and the USDA veterinarian warned that she may be so bad off with ataxia and other ailments that euthanasia may be necessary. Vicky Keahey, Founder and President of In-Sync Exotics Wildlife Rescue, looked into “Diamond’s” eyes and said, “Look at me little girl. You will not die now that you are here. You hear me? No dying allowed here.”?

The new lions have been placed in enclosures that can only be used by them temporarily. Several of the “residents” were moved around Friday morning to make room for the afternoon arrivals. It will now be imperative that new enclosures are built to accommodate the recent influx of neglected tigers and lions from the Kauffman facility. Sadly, the USDA reported that ten other exotic cats still remain at the negligent entertainment facility.
