In a city where the most exciting thing to do on a Monday night is usually watching the wind move a tumbleweed from one side of Loop 289 to the other, four local teens decided to spice things up. 18-year-old Asialenna Davis and her three underage sidekicks were scooped up by Lubbock’s finest just after midnight near 14th and Elkhart. Apparently, the “squad goals” for this group involved hitting no fewer than 30 vehicles in a single neighborhood, because if you’re going to catch a felony, you might as well go for the high score.
The Lubbock Police Department found the group a few blocks away from the scene of the crime, presumably burdened by the sheer weight of stolen loose change, half-empty vape pens, and whatever other “identifying information” people leave in their unlocked F-150s. They weren’t just breaking windows, though; they were hit with “Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity” charges. Nothing says “Criminal Mastermind” like a group of teenagers wandering through a residential neighborhood on a school night carrying enough stolen property to fill a garage sale.
While the three juveniles were whisked away to the Juvenile Justice Center, Asialenna got the “adult” experience with a one-way ticket to the Lubbock County Detention Center and a $30,000 bond. Between the burglary, fraud, and criminal mischief charges, these kids have managed to build a more impressive resume in one night than most people do in four years at Texas Tech.
It’s truly heartwarming to see the youth of Lubbock taking such an active interest in the community’s belongings; who knew that 14th Street was such a high-traffic hub for “organized” redistribution of property?
Is it really “organized” crime if you get caught three blocks away with a bag full of stolen junk, or is that just the Lubbock public school system’s extracurricular career path in action?
