Arrest Made in Sexual Assault of a Child Investigation
The Round Rock Police Department, in collaboration with the Dallas College Police Department, arrested 27-year-old Caleb Ian Carter in connection with a Sexual Assault of a Child investigation.
On April 29, 2026, at approximately 9:15 a.m., officers arrested Carter at the Dallas College Brookhaven Campus. He was later booked into the Dallas County Jail.
The incident occurred in Round Rock while Carter was employed as an orchestra teacher at Round Rock High School between 2022 and May 2025. The victim was a student, and the incident occurred off campus.
The investigation remains active. Anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact Detective Zamora at rzamora@roundrocktexas.gov or 512-595-2605.
If you or someone you know is a victim of sexual assault, contact your local law enforcement agency or call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673) for confidential support.
For nearly two decades, Officer Charles M. Whites, Jr. answered the call.
On February 25, 2018, he was critically injured after being struck by an impaired driver while directing traffic and later passed away on April 27.
Today, we pause to remember him, his service, and the impact he continues to have on this department and those who carry on the job.
We will never forget.

The Round Rock Police Department is investigating a jewelry store robbery that took place yesterday at the Round Rock Premium Outlets.
On Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at approximately 12:47 p.m. officers responded to a robbery in progress at the mall’s Marc Robinson Jewelers, located at 4401 N I-35. Store employees reported to police that multiple suspects entered the store carrying hammers and began breaking glass display cases and stealing jewelry. All the suspects were wearing masks and gloves. Suspects pepper-sprayed a store employee and a bystander during the robbery before fleeing with a large amount of stolen jewelry.
Officers soon located the vehicle the suspects were described to have fled the area in abandoned nearby at the 401 Teravista apartment complex. This vehicle, a blue Hyundai Sonata, was determined to have been stolen out of Humble, a Houston metro area city. The recovered vehicle was taken by police for processing, and the case remains active.
Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact Detective Dwayne Riley at (512)218-6619.
