Steven Ray Fester, dubbed a serial robbery suspect, has been arrested.  As reported in the September 25, 2009, edition of khou.com/news, witnesses said he wore a mask and gloves, held them at gunpoint with a semi automatic, forced everyone to the back of the store, forced them to open the safe, and ordered everyone to put their cell phones into the safe.  He stands accused of the armed robbery of CVS drugs stores, Shipley’s Donuts, H-E-B, and Walgreens in the Greater Huston area.  His charges include three aggravated robberies and he is believed to be linked in eight more.

Myfoxhouston.com reports Steven Ray Fester is being held without bail.

Fester is already a named person of interest in last years mysterious disappearance of his neighbor, Walter David “Bo” Brawner.  What does this arrest mean in connection to that case?  Certainly, Fester having been found guilty of the theft of Bo’s semi automatic hand gun earlier this year in San Jacinto County, and this arrest for armed robbery while brandishing a semi automatic hand gun in neighboring Harris County, demonstrates a preference in pistols and a predilection to break the law using violence - but does it mean more?  Will the San Jacinto County detectives travel to Harris County and be able to find out more about Bo Brawner’s disappearance?  Does this arrest threaten to put Fester behind bars for a long period of time?  Will he be able, or inclined, to plea bargin if he does have information leading to solving the mystery of what happened to Bo?  Will we hear from some jailhouse snitch?  Only time will tell.

In the mean time, the Brawner family has found a tiny glimmer of hope in Fester’s arrest.  They patiently wait and search and hope for Bo to return to them.
