Repeat offender on parole for murder tied to brutal jail assault, escape hours after robbery

One of four Texas teens accused of violently escaping a local jail was reportedly on parole for murder when he allegedly cut off his ankle monitor and robbed a store earlier this month. 

The incident unfolded just before 2 a.m. on Jan. 11, when Edmound Guillory, 19; Desean Dillard, 17; Devontae Simon, 18; and Clayton Johnson, 17, were arrested after allegedly robbing a Sugar Land CVS, according to FOX 26. 

Police said the four suspects physically assaulted a store clerk and fled with a bag of cash, the outlet reported.
