Fm 2653 Traffic Stop Nets 2 Grams of Methamphetamine, 1 Arrest
A traffic stop on FM 2653 south of State Highway 11 resulted in location of approximately 2 grams of methamphetamine and Jessica Lanae Bentle’s arrest.
Hopkins County Sheriff’s Deputy Lance Burdick reported stopping a Dodge Ram 1500 at 9:34 p.m. for a defective stop lamp. He noted the driver, identified in arrest reports as 31-year-old Bentle of Commerce, exhibited signs of nervousness, could not sit still and kept looking around the truck. When asked, she reportedly refused to allow a search of the pickup.
Thus, Sulphur Springs Police Officer Cleve Williams was contacted to bring his canine partner, Kilo, to the location to conduct a sniff search around the vehicle. The dog gave a positive alert for contraband, resulting in a search, according to arrest reports.
Officers alleged finding a suspected methamphetamine pipe and a baggy of suspected methamphetamine, resulting in the woman’s arrest. The substance field tested positive as meth and weighed about 2 grams, Burdick noted in arrest reports. Consequently, Bentle was charged with possession of 1 gram or more but less than 4 grams of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance.
Bentle remained in the county jail at noon Saturday. Bond was set at $10,000 on the controlled substance charge, according to jail reports.
GPS Used to Track Stolen Truck, Driver to Mockingbird Lane Parking Lot
A 31-year-old Tennessee truck driver was arrested at 9:50 a.m. Friday on Mockingbird Lane, after he was tracked using GPS in a company truck he did not return as requested.
Texas Department of Public Safety was contacted regarding a stolen tractor and semi-trailer alleged to be heading east on Interstate 30 around 10 a.m. Friday. The owner of the vehicle reportedly provided GPS coordinates regarding the vehicle’s location; DPS Trooper Aaron Hanna reported seeing the Volvo exit I-30 east onto Shannon Road, then turn south onto Mockingbird Lane, where it pulled into a restaurant parking lot.
Hanna contacted the driver, identified in arrest reports as Malcom X Holmes of Memphis, and ordered him out of the truck. During an interview, Holmes allegedly told officials he believed the company we was working for was going to terminate his employment, and did not return the truck as directed by the owner.
The owner reportedly told Hanna he’d tried to contact Holmes several times by phone and sent messages via the electronic log system, but received no answer to his calls and received no response to the messages. The owner opted to file charges against the man, thus he was arrested for unauthorized use of a vehicle, Hanna alleged in arrest reports.
Holmes remained in the county jail at noon Saturday. Bond was set at $5,000 on the unauthorized use of vehicle charge, according to jail reports.
Man Jailed Following Disturbance With Woman
A 29-year-old Sulphur Springs man was arrested early Saturday at motel was arrested for possession of methamphetamine and resisting arrest, following a disturbance with a woman in a hotel parking lot.
Sulphur Springs Police Cpl.Chris Rosamond reported contacting Jamie Lee Lindsay and a female at 12:36 a.m. about a disturbance he observed between the two in the parking lot of a motel in the 1500 block of East Industrial Drive Rosamond alleged the man displayed indicators Lindsay was possibly under the influence of narcotics.
During a pat down Rosamond reported feeling what to him felt like a glass pipe of the kind commonly used to smoke methamphetamine. The man was reported to be uncooperative with him during the pat down, and was placed into handcuffs until another officer arrived to assist.
Rosamond said he then checked the area where Lindsay had reportedly walked toward and found a baggy with a crystallized substance believed to be methamphetamine. Lindsay was arrested for possession of 4 grams or more but less than 200 grams of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance, which weighed 4.8 grams in the packaging and tested positive as methamphetamine, Rosamond and Officer Nick Floyd alleged in arrest reports.
Lindsay reportedly became irritated and began resisting arrest with physical strength and resisting movements against the officers; he was taken to the ground until another unit arrived to transport Lindsay to jail, where he was also charged with resisting arrest, police alleged in arrest reports.
Lindsay remained in the county jail late Saturday morning on both charges, according to jail reports.
284 Candidates Honored At SSHS Class of 2019 Graduation
The Sulphur Springs High School Class of 2019 commencement exercises at Gerald Prim Stadium did not include a lot of fan fare; the graduation ceremony was direct and to the point, finishing in under 2 hours.
Aside from introductions by administrators and speeches from the valedictorian and salutatorian, the high school band played “Pomp and Circumstance” as the seniors entered the field in pairs. Cameron Horton sang the “Star Spangled Banner,” following the posting of colors.
Superintendent Michael Lamb opened the ceremony, noting that of the 22 graduations he’s had the pleasure to be part of, including seven in Sulphur Springs, this one is different. He now knows what it’s like to be the parent of one of the graduates.
He said he’s had the opportunity to see from an administrative as well as parent standpoint the passion with which the class of 2019 has approached their endeavors and in many instances not only succeeded, but set many new records, some personal, others district and a few state records. They too have “more community service than any other group,” Lamb said.
Lamb described the SSHS class of 2019 as a “class of champs and go-getters,” and encouraged them to continue attacking life’s challenges moving forward with the same fire they’ve attacked the many challenges this school year.
As they pursue their own goals, he reminded them to always remember they have each other, as well as the family and friends, to turn to for support when they are faced with difficulties. He said the graduates can also still count on all SSISD staff, who are “here for you as well.”
Salutatorian Maddie Millsap challenged her classmates, as well as those present at graduation, to be the best at whatever they do and pursue that which truly satisfies their hearts.
“If we all strive to be the best we can be, think of how we could change the world and everyone around us,” Millsap said.
Valedictorian Carissa Carter, during her address, noted the legacy the class of 2019 is leaving at SSHS, one that does include new records set, but also the character they’ve shown through their actions.
Carter encouraged her fellow graduates to take the lessons they have learned at SSISD with them on their life journey, challenged them to be there for each other, to with servants’ hearts, provide unfailing support of each other as they face the world.
She encouraged them to push through when they make mistakes and mess up, as people do. She reminded her classmates as they cross the threshold into adulthood and the next phase of their lives, to remember the journey is as important and the destination. The graduates’ happiness, she said, will be the results of the choices they make.
She challenged her classmates and the crowd to do everything in their power to reach their potential in all they do, because that is when they’ll be truly happiest. She asked them to consider their contributions, to make the world a better place by being in it.
SSHS Principal Derek Driver certified all 284 candidates present had met all all terms for graduation, and presented them to the school board for approval.
SSISD Board of Trustees President Robbin Vaughn affirmed the graduates. She said she could not miss the opportunity to note what “caring, patient and kind” individuals the Class of 2019 are.
“I’m encouraged to think the impact you will have as you go into the world, taking these qualities with you,” Vaughn said.
The graduates then were called to the stage by name, and after all had been affirmed, the class was dismissed by Driver, celebrating with a hat toss.

Two SSHS 7 on 7 Football Teams Play Van and Commerce at Home on This Thursday Game Day
Perhaps the highlight of this otherwise slow sports week is 7 on 7 football competition on this game day Thursday (May 23). Van and Commerce will be coming to the Multipurpose Building to take on two of the Wildcats 7 on 7 teams. Play begins at around 5:30 p.m. and is expected to go on for about two hours. Some Wildcats players will be missing as they are attending a combine at Kilgore Thursday that will give East Texas football players a chance to be evaluated by college scouts. This is the fourth 7 on 7 competition for the Wildcats this season.. They played Lindale and Paris here on April 30. They attended a benefit tournament at Paul Pewett on May 4. Gilmer came here last week on May 14. Wildcats coaches indicate they are probably playing a little more 7 on 7 this year so players can get increased reps throwing, catching and covering.
