An Interstate 30 traffic stop Saturday resulted in location of THC edibles and marijuana and an Arkansas man’s arrest for controlled substance possession, according to arrest reports.
Cumby Police Officer Jonathan Painter reported seeing a gray vehicle pass traveling at a high rate of speed as it passed his station patrol vehicle on Interstate 30 east near mile marker 112.

Painter initiated a traffic stop at 9:17 p.m. Saturday, April 11, near the 114 mile marker on I-30 east. While speaking with the driver of the Kia, Painter allegedly smelled a strong odor he believed to be marijuana emitting from the car. A probable cause search of the car revealed a small amount of marijuana and large amount of THC edibles, Painter alleged in arrest reports.
The driver, identified in arrest reports as Jeremiah Gulley, 20, of El Dorado, Arkansas, was taken into custody at 10 p.m. April 11, 20202, for possession of 4 grams or more but less than 400 grams of a Penalty Group 2 controlled substance.

Walmart Theft Suspect Allegedly Caught After Jumping Fence At Restaurant
A Walmart theft suspect allegedly ran through a a neighborhood and jumped several fences before police caught him in a Shannon Road restaurant parking lot Sunday evening, according to police reports.
Sulphur Springs police were dispatched to Drexel Drive at San Jacinto Street, where a man allegedly involved in a theft at Walmart had reached after fleeing the store just before 4:30 p.m. April 12. A witness was allegedly driving behind the man as he ran from the store, and called 911.
Upon officers’ arrival in the area, other witnesses reported seeing a man wearing a black hoodie and green bag pack jumping fences in the back yard of a Drexel Drive residence, according to police reports.
A police officer reported hearing what movement that sounded like someone jumping a fence, and advised the direction of movement.
Other officers arrived in the area. A short time later, another officer reported seeing a person fitting the suspect description in the 100 block of Cedar Springs Road. Instead of heeding the officer’s order to stop, the man allegedly took off running north toward Braum’s.
A man in the parking lot of Brittany Square Apartments allegedly jumped the fence between the apartments and Panda Express. Police apprehended the suspect at that location. An off-duty officer who’d responded gave the arresting officer and suspect a rid back to a patrol car, police noted in arrest reports..
When the man was placed into the police patrol car, he allegedly gave permission for officers to search his bag pack, which he allegedly admitted contained items stolen from Walmart.

Commissioners Court Approves Agreement With Delta County For Public Health Authority
Hopkins County Commissioners Court, during their regular meeting Monday, approved an inter-local agreement with Delta County for a public health authority.
Hopkins County Commissioners Court on March 26 held a special meeting to reappointed Dr. I. L. Balkcom IV as Hopkins County’s public health authority, a capacity Balkcom has served in for a number of years.
After weeks, Delta County on April 7 received confirmation of one positive case of COVID-19. Delta County does not have a health authority. Thus, Delta County officials asked Hopkins County officials to see if an agreement could be reached allowing Delta County to use the same public health authority to assist during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hopkins County Commissioners County authorized an interlocal agreement with Delta County to share Balkcom as pulblic health authority.
According to the interlocal agreement, “The mission of the Local Health Authority is to serve the public health needs of the residents of Hopkins County and Delta County through provision for essential public health services, support to local public health agencies, and leadership and coordination for public health emergency preparedness and response. The Local Health Authority oversees and provides for performance of key functional areas such as patient rights, patient treatment, infection control and quarantine of infected patients; coordinating with local and state law enforcement as necessitated.”
The agreement begins today (April 13, 2020), and is allowable under Texas Government Code, according to the document. The agreement allows the two governments to “contract with each other for the performance of governmental functions, including public safety, health care and police protection. Hopkins County will provide to Delta County a qualified person as the Local Health Authority to act in such capacity during emergencies, pandemics as otherwise needed.”
Services to be performed by the Public Health Authority, according to the interlocal agreement, include:
“Establishing, maintaining, and enforcing jurisdictional quarantine orders; Aiding local boards of health, local health departments in quarantine inspections, disease prevention and suppression efforts, birth and death statistics, and general sanitation issues within their jurisdiction; Reporting the presence of contagious, infectious and dangerous epidemic diseases to local and state authorities; Aiding local jurisdictions and boards of health in carrying out public health required rules, ordinances, sanitation laws, quarantine rules, and required reporting of any vital statistics collected. Other essential public health services as provided in Chapter 121 of the Local Public Health Reorganization Act of the State of Texas.
“The Local Health Authority shall have access to all available medical information as necessary to carry out the duties of a local health authority and to protect the public’s health and safety.
Hats Off to the Busy Volunteers at Meal a Day!
On any given weekday, approximately 150 senior shut ins on six designated routes receive a delicious, nutritious meal delivered to their door with a smile and kind word. Deliveries are made by a half-dozen drivers or driver teams. Some of these volunteer every day and some just 2 or 3 days per week, but all feel a responsibility for the seniors on their route. Complete meals go out to senior citizens who can no longer cook for themselves at home or drive to get their meals. They also live in the Sulphur Springs/Como-Pickton area. Weekdays in the kitchen, on average, are 4-5 volunteer cooks and kitchen staff who do prep, cooking, packaging and cleanup. Meal preparation begins early in the morning and is finished before noon, when the cooking is done, lunches packaged, delivery completed, and kitchen clean-up finished.
“The amazing process is like a well-oiled machine that’s fueled by love and caring concern for others”, says Seniors Center Director Karon Weatherman who is hands-on daily as well. “Our lunches have large portions which, for many, serve for two meals on that day. We are blessed to be able to turn out healthy, attractive meals with variety, just like they would have prepared at home. Right now at 150, we are at capacity of the seniors we can serve. But we look forward to that changing when we get a bigger kitchen! The new Senior Citizens Center will be a larger, more efficient facility from which to serve our senior population, with space for more activities, exercise, games and fellowship, and the interaction that many seniors crave and may otherwise lack. The present Seniors Center is at 150 MLK Drive, and our new building site is on Oak Avenue”.
 Thanks You to the Meal a Day Cooks for each day of the week! |

4 In Custody In Hopkins County Jail On Capital Murder Charge
April 13, 2020 – A Sulphur Springs woman and three men were in custody at Hopkins County jail Monday morning on a capital murder charge, allegedly stemming from a dispute involving rent and payment, according to Hopkins County Sheriff Lewis Tatum. The victim was allegedly beaten at a Sulphur Springs address on April 10, then burned in a vehicle.
Arrested for capital murder were Charli Ciera Wadley-Hodges, 24; German Manuel Ibarra, 31; Jesus Antonio-Hernandez, 40; and Maximino Manuel Ibarra, 29.
“Through very hard work by all officers involved, they were able to identify the deceased person in the vehicle as Luis Martin Medina-Medina, approximately 50 year old Hispanic male who resided in Sulphur Springs,” according to Tatum.
Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office was reportedly contacted at 2:20 p.m. Sunday, April 12, by a rural resident who reported finding a burned truck with what appeared to be a body inside of it on County Road 1186, according to sheriff’s reports. Tatum stated when the deputies arrived at the location they observed a body in the back floor board of the pickup truck.
Deputies contacted the HCSO Criminal Investigation Department and all four responded to the scene. Justice of the Peace Brad Cummings pronounced the deceased and ordered an autopsy; John Vance with the Texas Rangers was also contacted for assistance.
During the course of the investigation, officers reportedly spoke to multiple people, including all four suspects.
“It is believed at this time that there was a dispute involving rent and payment that led to Medina losing his life. Medina was injured at his residence and eventually taken by parties involved to the County Road 1186 location,” Tatum said.
Sheriff Lewis Tatum offers thanks to everyone involved in this very difficult investigation, because of their hard work and dedication this case was solved in a timely manner.”
Also during the investigation, a 60-year-old Sulphur Springs man was arrested at 5:17 p.m. for interfering with public duties. He allegedly arrived on CR 1186, demanding to be told what had happened. The case was still under investigation and detailers were not being released at that time, Investigator Wade Sheets alleged in arrest reports.
Officials allegedly asked the 60-year-old Sulphur Springs man multiple times to leave, but he refused. An alcoholic beverage odor was reportedly smelled on the man, who was again told multiple times to leave but refused to do so. After another warning to leave, the man allegedly told authorities, “You will have to arrest me.” Investigators obliged and took him to jail for interference with public duties. He was released from custody Monday morning, April 13.

At Least 5 Jailed In Hopkins County On Felony Warrants
At least 5 people were jailed in Hopkins County on felony warrants between April 7 and April 11, according to arrest and jail reports.
Police officers were dispatched around 11:40 a.m. April 9 to a report of trespassing at Walmart. While responding to the call, officers reported seeing the suspect’s vehicle near a South Broadway Street financial institution.
An investigative stop of the white Nissan Sentra allegedly revealed Lashonda Renee Brown to be the passenger in the car. A records check showed the 42-year-old Sulphur Springs woman to be wanted by the US Marshal’s Service on a charge of amphetamine-selling methamphetamine. Consequently, Brown was taken into custody at 12:06 p.m. and transported to jail on the charge, Sulphur Springs Police Officers Silas Whaley and Adrian Pruitt alleged in arrest reports.
Jail records show Brown was booked into Hopkins County jail eight times between 1997 and 2005. She was booked in after being sentenced to serve a 10-day commitment in 1998 for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and being assessed an 18-month sentence in 2005 for violation of probation on an unauthorized use of motor vehicle charge, according to jail reports.
Brown was booked April 9, 2020, into Hopkins County jail, where she remained Saturday, April 11, on the US Marshals warrant, according to jail reports.
Christopher Joe Gomez was arrested in Jefferson County, Oklahoma on a Hopkins County warrant. Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office was notified.
HCSO Deputy Elijah Fite took Gomez into custody at 9:44 p.m. April 9 and transported him to Hopkins County jail, where the 28-year-old Dallas man was booked for violation of probation, which he was on the warrant for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, according to arrest reports. (He was originally arrested on a warrant for the firearm charge on Dec. 31, 2018, and remained in Hopkins County jail until March 8, 2019, according to jail reports.)
Gomez remained in Hopkins County jail Saturday, April 11, on the violation of probation charge. He’s also held on outstanding warrants from Dallas County for evading arrest or detention with a vehicle, evading arrest or detention with previous conviction and theft charges. His bonds on the Dallas charges total $7,000, according to jail reports.
Eddie Frank Horrocks was taken into custody at 2 p.m. April 9, in Rains County on a HopkinsCounty warrant for theft of property valued at $2,500 or more but less than $30,000. The 59-year-old Emory man was transported to Hopkins County jail where he was booked on the warrant, Hopkins County Sheriff’s Investigators Wade Sheets and Michael Russell noted in arrest reports.
Horrocks was released from Hopkins County jail Friday, April 10. Bond was set at $5,000 for the theft charge, according to jail reports.
Deputy Steve Huffman traveled to Brownsville, Tennessee, where he took 45-year-old L C Outlaw Jr., 46, into custody at 11:30 a.m. April 7 at Haywood County jail on Hopkins County warrant. Huffman transported Outlaw to Sulphur Springs, where the Tennessee man was booked into Hopkins County jail later that evening for surety off bond on an unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon warrant, according to arrest reports.
Outlaw and his wife were arrested on Nov. 28, 2016, following a traffic stop by Cumby police. He was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon after a gun was found in the glove box of their vehicle, and she was charged with marijuana possession, officers alleged in the 2016 reports. He was released from jail the next day on $10,000 bond on the firearm charge, according to jail reports.
Outlaw spent two days in Hopkins County jail this week before his release on April 9, 2020; bond was again set at $10,000 on the firearm charge, according to jail reports.
Hopkins County Sheriff’s Cpl. Todd Evans and Investigator Michael Russell took 40-year-old Stacy Pauline Williams of Sulphur Springs into custody on Church Street at Houston Street at 9:02 a.m. April 7.
Officers, aware of the warrant for her arrest, went to the address. The woman allegedly came to the door. The deputies reported finding nothing illegal during a “consent search” of the room, but the woman did admit to using marijuana, Evans and Russell alleged in arrest reports.
Consequently, Williams was taken into custody for violation of parole, which she was on for a fraud-deliver of Schedule III, IV or V prescription charge charge, according to arrest reports.
Jail reports show Williams has been jailed several times over the last 10 years on prescription fraud charges.
She was arrested on April 12, 2010 on six fraudulent possession of a controlled substance/Schedule III, IV, or V prescription charges. She was jailed for violation of probation on one fraudulent possession of a controlled Schedule III, IV or V prescription from May 2 to May 6, 2014 and again Aug. 22-Sept. 17, 2014. She was booked into Hopkins County jail on Oct. 8, 2015, after being sentenced to a commitment in a substance abuse felony punishment facility on the prescription fraud charge; she remained in Hopkins County jail until Dec. 2, 2015. On April 5, 2018, Williams was sentenced to three years in prison for violating probation on the charge, according to jail records.
On Jan. 20, 2017, Williams was sentenced to three days in a state jail for fraud-delivery of a controlled substance/Schedule III, IV or V. She was picked up on the warrant this week for violating parle on the charge; she remained in Hopkins County jail on the charge Saturday, April 11, according to jail and arrest reports.
