Two Charged With Burglary as U City Police Seek Third Suspect

A man and a woman face charges for a Tuesday burglary as University City Police search for a third suspect in the burglary.

Keisha Tyler, 22, of the 6500 block of Alabama Avenue in St. Louis, and Eric Irons, 21, of the 6800 block of Plymouth Avenue in University City, were charged with second-degree burglary and felony stealing. Tyler also was charged with resisting arrest.

University City Police said Tyler drove Irons and another man to the 6800 block of Plymouth Avenue near Irons’ home. Irons and the other man went inside the home and took two flat-screen televisions and X-Box and PlayStation 3 game systems and loaded the items into the car.

Tyler then drove off with the other two in the car. University City Police received a call regarding the burglary and an officer attempted to pull the car over on Sutter Avenue. Tyler led them on a chase that led into the city, where she crashed the car near the intersection of Etzel and Hodiamont.

Tyler was arrested near the crash. Irons and the other man fled on foot.

Officers found and arrested Irons in a vacant home in the 5900 block of Julian Avenue. Police still are seeking a third person, who eluded officers.

Tyler and Irons are being held in St. Louis County jail. Bail was set at $25,000 each, cash only, for Tyler and Irons.
