Four Prisoners Captured After Buckholts Farm Robberies
Four men tied and placed in a well were rescued in serious condition the next day. Milam County charged the quartet with armed robbery and burglary for a Dec. 9 Buckholts farm holdup, and an earlier Walters Oklahoma raid is linked. Local officers found a stolen Alabama car near Eaton’s home as the fugitives reportedly spent a night in a barn before capture. Lokos said they were drawn to Buckholts because residents leave back doors open.
