CRIME OF THE WEEK

1/23/09

The Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help in identifying the person or persons responsible for taking a bronze memorial statue valued at approximately $5000.00 from the grave of Philip Cody Ford.  Cody was killed in action on December 10, 2006.

Captain Chris Kincheloe advised that some time late last week thieves went to the Gulf Prairie Cemetery located in Jones Creek and hauled away a battle cross that topped the slain soldier’s grave site.  The battle cross consisted of Philip Cody Ford’s dog tags, his bronzed jump boots, bronzed assault rifle and bronzed helmet just like the one he wore while in Iraq.  The bronze base which supported the battle cross was also taken. 

Brazoria County Crime Stoppers is offering UP TO $1000 for information leading to the arrest and charges filed in this case.  If you have information on this case or any felony crime, you are asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-460-2222.  YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE YOUR NAME to be eligible for a reward.
