Eagle Pass Police are investigating an incident which occurred on Sunday morning in which two young girls may have been held in a residence against their will. Two individuals were arrested as suspects in this case and have been identified as Jose and Erik Felan according to Chief of Police Antonio Castañeda. According to the report, one of the girls called the EPPD to alert authorities they were being held against their will. Initially, Police were looking for a car whose passengers may have been involved in the incident in which a Chevy Silverado ended up in the Municipal Pool. Witnesses say they may have been driving at a high rate of speed. Officials finally caught up with the car and three individuals exited from the vehicle and ran from authorities. They were able to detain one 15 year-old minor, the others ran into the residence where they heard the screams of girls from within the home. They had no idea what was happening as they had not been alerted by dispatch, and they planned to forcibly enter the home, but the two individuals tried to escape through the rear door of the house and were later detained. The Chief of Police said that there was evidence that there may have been a party, however officials do not know why the girls are claiming to have been held against their will in their own home. The owner of the home was notified of the incident and the case remains under investigation.
