🚧 NEW PUBLIC WORKS ZONES 🚧

The City of Dayton Public Works Department is excited to introduce our new Street & Water Department Zones to help keep our citizens informed about where crews are working throughout the city.

This new system was created to improve communication with our community and make it easier for residents to stay updated on maintenance, repairs, mowing, water projects, street work, and other Public Works activities happening in their area.

🔹 Zone 1 – Yellow
🔹 Zone 2 – Pink
🔹 Zone 3 – Blue
🔹 Zone 4 – Green
🔹 Zone 5 – Purple
🔹 Zone 6 – Orange

As projects and work are scheduled, we will reference these zones in our updates and announcements so citizens can quickly identify impacted areas.

Our goal is to better serve the community by providing clearer communication, improved efficiency, and transparency about the work being done across Dayton.

Thank you for your continued support as we work to improve our city! 🚜💧🛠️

On April 1, 2026, at approximately 10:00 p.m., officers with the Dayton Police Department were dispatched to an aggravated robbery at the Chevron Convenience Store located at 304 West Linney Street in Dayton, Texas. Upon arrival, officers learned that an unknown suspect had entered the store, held the clerk at gunpoint, and demanded money and other items before fleeing the scene.

Patrol officers secured the scene, and the Dayton Police Department Criminal Investigations Division (CID) responded to conduct interviews and process the scene.

During the investigation, CID obtained information identifying the suspect as Victor Bernard Henry, Jr. The Dayton Police Department subsequently coordinated with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Southeast Texas Violent Crime Task Force to assist with additional investigative efforts and potential federal prosecution.

On April 28, 2026, members of the Southeast Texas Violent Crime Task Force, including the United States Marshals Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, along with assistance from the Dayton Police Department and the Liberty County Precinct 2 Constable’s Office, executed an arrest warrant on Henry in the 500 block of South Colbert Street in Dayton, Texas.

Henry was taken into custody without incident. During the arrest, investigators located additional evidence at the residence related to the robbery and other offenses.

Henry, a convicted felon with a prior conviction for Attempted Murder, is currently being held in the Liberty County Jail on a no-bond.

This case remains under active investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Dayton Police Department CID. The Dayton Police Department would like to thank the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Southeast Texas Violent Crime Task Force, and assisting agencies for their continued partnership and commitment to keeping the Dayton community safe.
