Afternoon Blaze Damages Pallet Business Building On I-30 Frontage Road Friday
What reportedly started as a controlled burn by a business spread into pallets and damaged a business building on the north Interstate 30 service road, just east of Sulphur Springs Friday afternoon. All available firefighters from around the county were requested to provide man power and water support due to the heavy fire load in pallets and the extreme summer heat.
Dispatchers were first notified at 1 p.m. Aug. 23 of the blaze at the pallet business just east of town on the north Interstate 30 service road, and dispatched Sulphur Springs and Hopkins County firefighters.
An all call was soon requested for all available fire departments to respond. The brush fire had reportedly not only spread into pallets behind the business when the wind changed directions, but also spread to the back side of the business, according to the Sulphur Springs and Hopkins County fire chiefs.
Firefighters were able to put a quick stop on the structure fire, however, it continued to burn in some pallets behind the structure. The office and second story of the building sustained heavy damages.
A rehab unit and Red Cross reportedly responded at the location to help keep firefighters hydrated. Trusties from the county jail accompanied a Precinct 3 official to the scene with county equipment, which was used to dig a hole to bury some of the smoldering pallets.
Firefighters remained at the location at the ready, quickly knocking down fire as smoldering pallets blazed up through through the afternoon.
One member of Sulphur Springs Fire Department sustained and was sent to be treated for what appeared to be a minor injury while working at the scene, according to SSFD Chief David James.
The roadway was shut down in front of the fire site due to the number of fire apparatus responding and as a safety precaution for firefighters working.
The blaze is at least the second county firefighters have battled involving a shop-type building in as many days. At 5:33 Thursday, Aug. 22, Hopkins County, Brinker, Arbala and Pickton-Pine Forest firefighters were dispatched to what was reported as a barn fire with tractors and farm supplies inside of it on County Road 2324 in Como. Firefighters remained on scene battling the fire, which reportedly spread into hay, until 7:13 p.m. Thursday, according to county reports.
City fireman also reportedly battled a structure fire late Wednesday night which caused significant damage to a large shed or shop-type building behind a residence.

Wanted Man Reportedly Had Marijuana In Underwear When Arrested By DPS
A 29-year-old Sulphur Springs man reportedly had marijuana in his underwear when arrested by state troopers Thursday evening.
Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Arturo Ugalde reportedly stopped Daqualin Jerrod Evans at 6:33 p.m. Aug. 22, on Interstate 30 west at mile marker 121 after noticing the Hyundai Elantra he was driving didn’t have a license plate but did have a defective high-mounted stop lamp.
Upon contact with Evans, Ugalde alleged he could smell a fresh marijuana odor coming from the car. A records check showed Evans to be wanted in Dallas County for violation of probation, which he was on for theft valued at $1,500 or more but less than $20,000. After the warrant was confirmed, Evans was taken into custody on the Dallas County charge, Ugalde alleged in arrest reports.
A probable cause search of the car yielded no marijuana or other contraband. While Evans was being transported to jail, the 29-year-old Sulphur Springs man allegedly admitted to having marijuana in his underwear, and said he didn’t want to go to jail with it. The car was released to Evans’ mother, Ugalde noted in arrest reports.
Evans, who was noted in jail reports to also be known as “Boo,” was booked into jail on the warrant, as well as for possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana and driving while license invalid. He remained in the county jail Friday afternoon; bond on the marijuana charge was set at $1,000, according to jail reports.

Football Coach Greg Owens Comments On Scrimmage Thursday
Shortly after the Wildcats only scrimmage of the preseason Thursday night, Aug. 22 at Liberty-Eylau, Wildcats Football Coach Greg Owens said he was especially pleased with the Wildcats first two units on offense and defense.
He noted that the Wildcats moved the ball down the field on their first few drives. The Wildcats actually scored their lone touchdown of the scrimmage on their first drive.
Coach Owens said on defense, guys were flying around and making plays. He said over the course of the evening, a scrimmage mentality took over. Things lose their luster and Coach Owens said the players seemed to lose their passion, realizing that they were only playing a scrimmage. He said 15 sophomores played with the varsity Thursday night. Coach Owens said he saw some really good things but, he added, he also saw lots of things that need to be worked on.
Liberty-Eylau broke open a tight scrimmage with a couple of third quarter touchdowns against Wildcats’ back ups to win 23-7.
Coach Owens said the team would continue to work to improve next week. The Wildcats open the season next Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Gerald Prim Stadium against Frisco Wakeland.
There were a couple of former Wildcats football players on the Liberty-Eylau coaching staff. Klint King, the son of former Wildcats Head Football Coach Chuck King, is the Leopards’ head coach. Martin Bryant is on Coach King’s staff.
Complaint Of A Man Running In Traffic Leads To Stolen Pickup, Rusk Man’s Arrest
Complaints about someone running in and out of traffic along Interstate 30 in the Cumby-Brashear area resulted in location of a pickup reportely stolen from Red River County and the arrest of a 37-year-old Rusk man Thursday.
Cumby police responded to at least six complaints called in between 13:54 p.m. and 4:03 p.m. Aug. 22 to dispatchers about a man running in and out of traffic on Interstate 30 between the 112 and 114 mile markers. Upon arrival, officers contacted two men.
The Rusk man claimed he and his friend had gotten into an argument and she put him out of her vehicle. The other man told police he had called in about the Rusk man running in and out of traffic. He also also claimed the Rusk man, identified in reports as John Mark Semple Jr., indicated to him that the truck located about 100 feet from them was stolen, police alleged in arrest reports.
The Chevrolet pickup reportedly had no license plates on it. A records check using the truck’s identification number returned a license plate number for the vehicle. The plate number, when checked, matched the truck, which had recently been reported to Red River County authorities as stolen, Cumby Police Officer Geer reported.
The second man allegedly reported seeing the second man in the truck, which reportedly ran out of gas. Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Rebekah Saathoff reportedly found the keys on a front tire and tried to start it; it was out of gas. Semple was arrested for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, according to arrest reports.
He told officials that he had been poisoned, so he was transported to the emergency room, where he was medically cleared. He was then transported to the county jail, where he was booked for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, according to arrest reports. He remained in the county jail Friday morning on the charge, according to jail reports.
