BASTROP, Texas (KXAN) — Two men were arrested after another man was found dead on State Highway 71 in July, according to the Bastrop Police Department.
In a Facebook post, BPD said officers were called to the 300 block of SH 71 West around 9 p.m. on July 25 and found a man with a “significant amount of bodily injury.”
The man was identified by police as Robert Yarbrough, 42.
Police arrested two men in connection with Yarbrough’s death. Keith A. Pennington, 53, was charged with murder and Nicholas Ray, 37, was charged with tampering with evidence, the post said.
Attorney information for Pennington and Ray wasn’t listed in court records Monday. Once that information is available, KXAN will reach out for a statement on their clients’ behalf.
Police are asking for anyone with information to call BPD at 512-332-8600. Tips can be sent to Blue Bonnet Crime Stoppers.
