County Officials Seeking Info Regarding Individual Who Broke Peerless Church Window
Hopkins County officials are seeking information regarding the individual who broke a church window late Christmas night.
The sheriff’s office posted a video, captured on a Ring recording system, of a male heard breaking out a window at Peerless Church. In the video, it appears a male walks across the church parking lot, then across grass. The suspect moves partially out of sight of the video, but can be seen raising an arm, then kicking, and glass can be heard breaking. Afterward, he walks back across the parking lot to a vehicle, where yelling and profanity can be heard.
The suspect appears to be wearing dark colored pants, lights shoes, a red or orange colored checked jacket with a dark shirt underneath.
Anyone who can help identify the male is asked to contact either Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office at 903-438-4040 or Lake Country Crime Stoppers at 903-885-2020. Tips called in to Crime Stoppers are handled in such a way that the caller’s identity is kept confidential. Crime Stoppers tips leading to an arrest or conviction in the case could result in a financial reward.
