Winnsboro Couple Arrested in Picton
July 25, 2023 – A Winnsboro couple were arrested after a roadside welfare check was performed in Pickton, TX.
The couple had pulled to the side of Highway 11 in Pickton and were apparently having car trouble. Hopkins County sheriff deputies performed a welfare check around 10PM Monday. The pickup truck displayed a registration sticker belonging to another vehicle. The trailer did not have a licence plate and did not have a VIN number.
A record check of WILLIAM CHAD BUSBY and CYNTHIA ANN BUSBY was performed and showed both to be wanted in Wood County Texas.
