40th UPRA Rodeo Finals Wins in Talent, Stock, Attendance
Following three nights of exciting rodeo action in Sulphur Springs, the organizers of the 2019 Cinch UFR, or United Finals Rodeo, are wearing smiles due to the excellent stock and talent and great attendance all three nights. In fact, Saturday night’s performance in the Hopkins County Civic Center arena had a packed house. Both the animal and human athletes were “top notch” on all three nights, according to many spectators. The Handicapable Rodeo, another memorable part of the annual rodeo, had record attendance, with over 400 children with disabilities or special needs getting ‘up close and personal’ with cowboys, cowgirls and horses. The naming of Miss UPRA 2020 and Miss Teen UPRA 2020 concluded weeks of preparation for the field of contestants, and the crowning was held in the arena as part of the final night of festivities. The United Professional Rodeo Association began in the same arena 40 years ago, first titled CRA or Central Rodeo Association. The Association’s circuit has now expanded to six states, with this year’s Finals awarding more than $300,000 in cash prizes.
Outgoing Miss UPRA for 2019 is Colleen Crumpton from DeKalb, Texas. Colleen, who says her life has “revolved around rodeo’ will now continue entering barrel racing events. She graduates from North Texas Community College in December 2019 and plans to continue studies towards a career in Phlebotomy. Colleen has won 14 rodeo titles since she began competing in 2000.
Outgoing Miss Teen UPRA for 2019 was Reannan Klodowski of Pilot Point, Texas. The crown was the first rodeo title she has won. Reannan shows livestock and has advanced to State levels in FFA News and Speaking contests. She hopes to become a Veterinarian.
Contestant Haileigh Mitchell took home the title of Miss Congeniality and the Miss UPRA Peoples Choice award in her first run at the Miss UPRA rodeo title. She stated that UPRA seems like a family, from the organizers, contestants and stock contractors, and she has made many new friends. Haileigh represented the Franklin County Sherrif’s Posse and recently moved from Quitman, Texas to Lubbock. She plans to continue entering rodeo royalty contests, and has future plans to enter the U.S. Coast Guard.

Liberty Man Arrested In Sulphur Springs On Controlled Substance Charge
A 28-year-old Liberty, Texas man was arrested by a sheriff’s deputy on controlled substance and weaopn charges, following a routine traffic stop in Sulphur Springs Saturday morning, according to arrest reports.
Hopkins County Sheriff’s Deputy Lance Burdick reported stopping a Ford F250 pickup at about 2:35 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 23, on Shannon Road at Bill Bradford Road, for having a defective high center mounted brake light. As he approached the pickup, Burdick alleged he could smell a marijuana odor coming from the vehicle. On contact with the driver, the deputy reportedly asked him to step out of the truck so he could conduct a probable cause search.
Burdick reported finding a handgun between the driver’s seat and console. He took the weapon to his vehicle and asked communications operators to conduct a records check on the gun while he continued searching the pickup.
In the console, Burdick allegedly found a vape pen containing suspected THC oil. When asked, Colby Wayne Jones allegedly admitted it contained THC oil he had obtained during a trip to California. The 28-year-old Liberty man was taken into custody. The substance field-tested positive as THC oil, Burdick alleged in arrest reports.
Consequently, Jones was booked into the county jail for possession of 4 grams or more but less than 200 grams of a Penalty Group 2 controlled substance and for unlawful carrying of a weapon, according to arrest reports. Jones remained in the county jail late Saturday morning on the charges, according to jail reports.
Also credited with assisting with the stop were HCSO Deputy Nicholas Marney, Sgt. Scott Davis and Deputy Jason Lavender.
