Names Of Hopkins County Residents Age 90 Or Older Still Sought for Banquet
Sulphur Springs Senior Citizens Center Marketing and Programs Director Karon Weatherman is still taking names of adults in Hopkins County who are or will be 90 years or older in 2020 so they can be honored at a banquet held in their honor later this spring.
The 15th Annual Clara Bridges 90+ Banquet will begin at noon Saturday, April 25, 2020 and once again be held at First Baptist Church’s Recreational Outreach Center, The ROC, located at 115 Putman St. in Sulphur Springs.
The event is named in honor of Clara Bridges, a local resident who remained a vital part of her church community after reaching her 90th birthday. Bridges was born in Aug. 1912 and died Dec. 23, 2013.
Weatherman, who coordinates the event, said she already has 210 names, but believes there are even more residents who have reached this milestone. She would like to see every one of them recognized.
“I am looking for ALL seniors in Hopkins County that are 90 years of age or will be in 2020. If you know any seniors who are 89 years old or over please contact me to see if they are on my list,” Weatherman said. “I see obituaries all the time where seniors are over 90 and I never had them on my list. It makes me sad that we never honored them.”
And, those who are 100 years or older will receive special recognition. Weatherman said she is aware of at least 14 individuals who have reached that milestone.
“If you know someone who is or will be 90 or over this year, please call me. I can look it up on my list to see if they are already on my list. Please don’t wait for others to call. They may not know or think someone else already had too. We don’t want to miss anyone,” Weatherman said.
She is setting a priority deadline of mid-March 13, so she can send out invitations and make sure she is prepared for each individual age 90 or older. Honorees and their family members will be treated to a free banquet lunch, thanks to even sponsors.
For additional information about the banquet or to register a senior for the event, contact Weatherman at the Senior Citizens Center, at 903)-85-1661 or send an email to [email protected].

Burglary Investigation Results In Location of Stolen Vehicles and Weapons, Tools, Methamphetamine; 5 Arrests
An investigation into a recent burglary resulted in five felony arrests; cleared cases in two counties; resulted in recovery of 10 stolen weapons, two stolen vehicles and multiple tools; and discovery of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, according to sheriff’s and arrest reports.
Credited for their involvement in the investigation were Hopkins County Sheriff’s Investigators Wade Sheets and Dennis Findley, and patrol deputies; and Franklin County Sheriff Rickey Jones and his investigators.
Tatum expressed “appreciation for these officers’ hard work and dedication to the cause of protecting our citizens and their property” following the arrests.
Investigators reportedly received information Friday, Jan. 17, about weapons and a suburban that were stolen in a recently burglary. They contacted 36-year-old Rusty Lee Clay and 34-year-old Shawna Clay, both of Winnsboro, and 39-year-old Lonni Hammond Allen of Royse City at a County Road 2390 residence.
While at the CR 2390 residence, the investigators reportedly learned at least one stolen weapon had been sold to another individual; 34-year-old Jeffery Joseph Stogner of Sulphur Springs arrived with the stolen weapon, Findley and Sheets alleged in arrest reports. However, all four allegedly denied knowledge about any other stolen weapons.
While the investigators and deputies were en route to another location following up on leads, 32-year-old Stephen J. Bryant of Winnsboro was observed working on a vehicle on the side of the road. Just down the same road, the stolen suburban and another vehicle that had been reported stolen from Franklin County were located, according to arrest reports. Bryant allegedly admitted involvement in the unauthorized use of both vehicles and to taking multiple stolen weapons to the Clay residence, where the officers had been earlier, Findley and Sheets alleged in arrest reports.
Upon their return to the CR 2390 residence, Rusty Clay and Jeffery Stogner allegedly escorted investigators into the woods, where eight stolen weapons were hidden under fallen timber, brush and leaves, the investigators alleged in arrest reports.
All five of the individuals were escorted to the sheriff’s office, where they were interviewed, according to arrest and sheriff’s reports. All of the individuals admitted to involvement either with the burglary or the concealment, possession or sale of property taken during the burglary, Sheets and Findley alleged in arrest reports.
Rusty Clay, Shawna Clay, Lonni Allen and Stephen Bryant were arrested at 11 p.m. Jan. 27 and booked into the county jail on an engaging in organized criminal activity charge for their involvement in the burglary of a habitation, according to arrest reports. Stogner was booked into jail on a third-degree felony tampering with evidence charge, according to arrest reports.
During the investigation, a total of 10 stolen weapons, two stolen vehicles, and multiple tools were allegedly recovered. A box containing more than 4 grams of methamphetamine, syringes, scales and other drug paraphernalia was also reportedly found hidden in a culvert, Sheets and Findley alleged in arrest reports.
Rusty Clay allegedly admitted the box belonged to him and that he had hid it, resulting in him being charged with possession of 4 grams or more but less than 200 grams of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance, the investigators alleged in arrest reports.
