The Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office was in search of a man suspected of entering a Kaufman County home, taking the homeowner’s gun, and fleeing the residence.
On Dec. 7, at approximately 11 a.m., deputies responded to a robbery on County Road 107 in Kaufman. The suspect was Travis Curbo, a 47-year-old white male.
The victim stated that the suspect damaged a window and entered his residence without consent.
The victim confronted Curbo in the kitchen, holding him at gunpoint while attempting to call 911. Curbo wrestled the victim, taking the victim's firearm and cell phone. Curbo, prior to fleeing the victim's residence, exhibited the firearm, then jumped out of a window. Injuries to Curbo may have occurred during the commission of this crime.
On Dec. 12, Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office investigators and deputies from Constable Pct. 1 located and arrested Curbo for aggravated robbery and interference with emergency request and assistance. The missing cell phone and handgun were recovered during the arrest. The Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank all the citizens of Kaufman County for tips that led to Curbo’s arrest.
