Bond has been set at $500,000 each for three men and one woman suspected of robbing and stabbing a 73-year-old man at a local motel on Wednesday.
Jeremy Goudeau, 20; Donna Goudeau, 25, and Keyron Elmore, 29, all of Port Arthur, are charged with aggravated robbery. Devin Hammon, 28, a Houston resident, is charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. Bond was set by Judge Bob Wortham.
Port Arthur Police Sgt. Scott Gaspard said police received a call of an aggravated robbery at the Driftwood Motel, 3700 Memorial Blvd., at about 6:30 a.m. Wednesday, July 20.
The 73-year-old victim, who is a Kansas resident, is in town while working construction at Motiva, according to police.
Police believe the incident began when one of the suspects stole a Pontiac G6 from Houston and drove to Port Arthur. The group then went to the motel and began knocking on doors. The suspects gained entry to the victim’s room when he answered the knock.
Once inside the room, the man was beaten and stabbed and his 2004 Chevrolet extended cab truck stolen.
