Dallas Police Bust Illegal Apartment Rentals On Forest Lane

Dallas police have arrested two suspects for illegally renting vacant apartment units to unsuspecting tenants.

The suspects had changed locks and illegally charged people to stay in 11 units at a Northeast Dallas complex.

William Reed, 50, returned to the apartments in the 9600 block of Forest Lane despite being formally trespassed. He changed locks on vacant units and collected money from people staying there.

Officers from the Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) and Northeast Patrol cleared all 11 units simultaneously. They arrested Reed without incident and charged him with criminal trespass.

Jasmine Landrum, 41, tried hiding a glass pipe when officers arrived. She faces criminal trespass, drug paraphernalia possession, and evidence tampering charges — the latter a third-degree felony.

Police recovered a large machete and a fake plastic firearm during the operation. Officers remained on-site while property management secured the vacant units.

“We are finding innovative ways to work collaboratively across our department,” said Assistant Chief Richard Foy. “Combining the manpower from our patrol divisions with the resources of our HOT team allow us to be more creative in how we help intervene and prevent these types of nuisance crimes.”

Northeast officers will work with apartment management to prevent future incidents. The investigation is documented under case number 00658-2026.

North Texas doughnut shops named among best in U.S.

Jarams will always be top in our hearts.

Lauren Drewes Daniels

Arguments about the best doughnut shops can get heated. We have our own personal top 10 favorites. And we have issues with DoorDash’s list below. So, let’s dive right into this sweet, round confection with a hole in the middle.

For National Donut Day, which is Friday, June 5, for all those who celebrate, DoorDash has a roundup of the top 100-rated small and medium-sized donut shops on DoorDash. The list includes local businesses across 86 cities and 25 states.

To be considered for the Donut Day Dozens list, the bakery must be small or medium-sized, have fewer than 10 stores, and have at least 1,000 reviews. The shops with the highest average consumer ratings from April 2025 to April 2026 were chosen.

Of the 21 donut shops chosen across Texas, 13 are located in North Texas.

North Texas bakeries named best doughnuts

Morning Donuts – Dallas, TX
Baker’s Dozen Donuts – Cross Roads, TX
Busy B’s Bakery – North Richland Hills, TX
Donut House Plano – Plano, TX
Donut King #3 – Fort Worth, TX
Eagle Donuts – Crowley, TX
Earnest Donuts – Lewisville, TX
Four Seasons Donuts – Irving, TX
Jin’s Donuts – Farmers Branch, TX
Master Donut – The Colony, TX
Stacy Donuts – McKinney, TX
TWISTY DONUTS MANSFIELD – Mansfield, TX

A few misses

There are some obvious big misses here. Like La Rue in Trinity Groves, which apparently was left off because it has fewer than 1,000 reviews. We awarded this chef-driven shop Best Doughnuts in 2025 for pushing out top-tier confections every morning and a seasonal menu that will both win you over and break your heart. They’re also using only beef tallow in the fryers now.

And no Jarams? The shop on Preston Road has a 4.7 average rating on DoorDash, and it appears 4.8 was the cutoff. The family-owned Jarams is one of the best shops in Dallas.

As is Detour Donuts in Frisco. This is run by an ambitious young baker who draws long lines for themed doughnuts and a rotating menu.

Beyond North Texas …

The rest of the awarded donut shops were mostly located in Houston, with a sprinkle in San Antonio. Shops were listed in alphabetical order, and not with any sort of numbered ranking system.
