Arrested man committed 14 felonies in the same day, Dallas police say
Dallas police have arrested a man they say committed at least 14 violent felonies across the metroplex, including carjacking an elementary school principal, officials said.
55-year-old Gregory Noble was arrested Thursday, March 20, with assistance from multiple agencies, including the Dallas office of the FBI, officials said in a statement.
Noble allegedly committed most of the crimes over the course of the day on Thursday, according to the statement.
Noble first stole a vehicle from the 14500 block of Dallas Parkway, police said. When the owner reported the vehicle stolen, it was noted that a handgun had been left inside, according to the statement.
Shortly after, a bank robbery was reported in the 14800 block of Preston Road, police said.
Upon responding to the robbery, police identified Noble as the suspect and the vehicle as the one that had just been stolen, according to the statement.
Noble then drove that vehicle to another business, tried unsuccessfully to commit a second robbery, then stole a second vehicle and fled, police said.
In the second stolen vehicle, Noble drove to an elementary school in the 9900 block of Webb Chapel Road, where he stole a third vehicle from the school’s principal, police said.
After that, a crash and another carjacking were reported near the 11800 block of Rosser Road in Dallas. Noble crashed the third vehicle at that intersection, then stole a fourth vehicle, police said.
Noble continued to abandon and steal vehicles in Coppell, Farmers Branch and Irving before speeding away from a traffic stop in the seventh stolen vehicle, according to the statement.
He was later found and apprehended near the intersection of Singleton Boulevard and Gulden Lane in Dallas, police said.
Noble faces charges of robbery of a business, aggravated robbery, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, and evading arrest in Dallas, police said
He faces additional charges from the FBI and other law enforcement agencies who assisted with the investigation, according to the statement.
