(Stillwater, Okla.) — A Stillwater teenager was arrested Friday on a felony charge of breaking into a Cushing home in 1000 block of E. Greenlee with the intent of committing an assault with a black handgun, court records show.
Jose Ramon Villasenor, 18, was being held today in the Payne County Jail on $10,000 bail on a first-degree burglary charge punishable by seven to 20 years in prison on conviction, court records show.
Cushing Police Officer Matthew Hensley was sent at 4:48 p.m. on Jan. 22 to a home in the 1000 block of E. Greenlee on a report “that a male broke a window and was trying to enter the house,” according to his affidavit.
The homeowner said, “While watching TV around 4:30, I heard a loud noise from the back room. I started to go to the back when my wife said someone broke the window; go around the house. So I ran out the front door and caught a man at the corner with a gun in his hand.
“He started yelling, ‘are you messing with my woman?’ I grabbed his wrist and held it to his side, while I started yelling at him. My wife came outside and said, ‘you want me to call the police?’ I said yes. She said ok, and he broke loose and bolted. I chased him as far as I could down the alley, but he got away,” the affidavit alleged.
The man’s son was in “an on-again off-again dating relationship,” with a Cushing woman, the affidavit alleged.
“Sgt. Piatt, Officer Edwards and I started sector sweeps of the area,” but were unable to locate the individual, Officer Hensley wrote in his affidavit.
The Cushing woman, “admitted to being in an on-again, off-again relationship with Jose, but did not know his last name,” the affidavit alleged.
“I asked her where he was and she stated ‘prolly on his way back to Joplin, Missouri,"” Officer Hensley wrote in his affidavit.
“She stated that she was inside her residence relaxing and heard a bunch of grown men yelling…(She) stated that Jose came running inside with bloody hands and stated he just cut himself,” then grabbed his belongings, ran outside and left in his red Ford F-150, the affidavit alleged.
“I advised dispatch of the red Ford F-150 and all patrols began a search of the truck,” that was located in the 600 block of N. Little Avenue in a parking lot, the officer wrote in his affidavit.
“The license plate returned to a Gerardo Villasenor with an address out of Joplin, Missouri,” that had an expired license plate decal and no insurance on file, the affidavit alleged.
After the officer spotted a citation written by Cushing police in the front passenger dash board, he located a record of a traffic stop at 1:16 a.m. on Jan. 22, with the driver’s name as Jose Villasenor of Stillwater, in a red truck with a sticker from Joplin, Missouri, the affidavit alleged.
During the investigation, the Cushing officer spoke to the father of the Cushing woman who dated Villasenor, according to the affidavit.
The father said, “When I returned home, I saw Jose pacing on my front porch. When I asked him what’s wrong, he said ‘your daughter shouldn’t talk to other guys while she’s talking to me.’ At that time, he showed me his right hand was bleeding from his pinky and ring fingers. And all the neighbors were out looking for him, so I told him to get in my truck and I’ll give you a ride out of the neighborhood. As I drove, he then fell asleep, so I took him to his mother’s house in Stillwater,” the affidavit alleged.
The father said, “Jose told him he ran from the house in question with the gun and hid it under a pile of leaves in front of a big tree next to a fence,” at a house to the east from the victim’s residence, the affidavit alleged.
“Sgt. Piatt, Officer Edwards and I began searching for the firearm in question,” Officer Hensley wrote in his affidavit.
At 10:37 p.m., “I located a Ruger SR9 9 mm firearm magazine loaded with 9 mm ammunition in it,” about six feet from the broken window at the victim’s house, Officer Hensley wrote in his affidavit.
A neighbor said “she arrived home earlier in the day and observed a black hoodie-type jacket in her back yard,” that the officer said matched what Villasenor was wearing during the incident, the affidavit alleged.
“I observed a single 9 mm round located in the front inside pocket of the jacket,” consistent with the 9 mm rounds in the Ruger firearm magazine, Officer Hensley alleged in his affidavit.
“I also found two white pills consistent with Xanax bars located in the front right pocket of the jacket,” Officer Hensley alleged in his affidavit.
“Officer Edwards located a black Ruger SRN in a pile of leaves located in front of a big tree next to a fence,” that was consistent with the black handgun the Cushing woman’s father said the suspect had, according to the affidavit.
“I submitted the Ruger SR9 9mm handgun, the Ruger SR9 mm magazine and the black hoodie-type jacket to OSBI for DNA, fingerprint analysis and a functions test,” Officer Hensley wrote in his affidavit for an arrest warrant that was issued on Jan. 31 and served on Feb. 1, court records show.
