Man Found Passed Out In SUV Accused Of Having Cocaine, Heroin
A DeKalb man, 26, found passed out in a GMC Envoy parked in the middle of U.S. Highway 67 west at FM 2653 south at 1:51 a.m. Saturday was arrested on a theft warrant and two controlled substance charges, after being treated for a possible overdose on heroin.
Hopkins County Sheriff’s Sgt. Shea Shaw and deputy M.Cleveland were dispatched to the location, where a running vehicle was reportedly parked in the middle of the road, with the driver passed out inside of it. They found a man, identified in arrest reports as Dustin James Spieldenner, in the vehicle. He appeared to be asleep, and did not awaken when deputies knocked on the window of the sport utility vehicle, which they noted to be left in reverse gear.
The deputies further alleged in arrest reports that they could see a syringe next to the man, and noted what appeared to be fresh track marks from a syringe injection. When the man still did not respond, the deputies reported, they notified EMS and broke a window on the Envoy to gain access to the man.
Deputies reported the man still was unresponsive after they broke the window, but they could tell he was breathing. He did finally awake when deputies removed him from the vehicle.
The deputies, in arrest reports, said they believed the man to be under the influence of heroin and to have possibly overdosed. He allegedly told the officers he had injected heroin and was able to stand on his own. However, he appeared to have difficulty staying awake, which the deputies reported can sometimes be a sign of heroin use.
A search of the vehicle yielded a black tar substance believed to be cocaine and a white substance they believed to be cocaine, deputies noted in arrest reports.
He was transported by EMS to the hospital, where he was treated for a possible overdose. After Spieldenner was released from the emergency room, he was taken into custody for possession of less then 1 gram each of heroine and cocaine. A records check also showed the man to be wanted in Johnson County on a warrant for theft of less than $2,500 worth of property, with two or more convictions.
The suspected heroin weighed 0.21 grams and the suspected cocaine 0.25 grams, the deputies alleged in their reports.
Spieldenner remained in the county jail at noon Monday. His bond was set at $5,000 each on the controlled substance charges and $30,000 each on the warrant, according to jail reports.
Arkansas Man Allegedly Found With Lewd Photos of Children On His Phone
Aaron David Brumley, 29, of Ashdown, Arkansas was arrested at 12:42 p.m. Sunday on Interstate 30 west at mile marker 119 by Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Arturo Ugalde for possession of lewd visual material depicting a child — possession of child pornography.
He was reportedly stopped for driving a Dodge Avenger in the left lane of I-30 west Sunday and not passing other motorists. On contact, the DPS trooper alleged the man displayed indicators of criminal activity and extreme nervousness. A giant stuffed animal was observed in the front passenger’s seat; several children’s toys and condoms in the driver’s seat back; and coloring pages, a stuffed animal, diapers and baby pacifiers in a backpack, according to arrest reports.
The man reportedly agreed to let the trooper search his phone. Ugalde, in the arrest report, alleged finding multiple obscene photographs on it, included two depicting what appear to be children wearing diapers in lewd or provocative positions.
The trooper reported contacting a special investigator regarding the findings. Based on the totality of the circumstances, the man was arrested for possession of the lewd visual material depicting a child, Ugalde reported. The man, identified as Brumley, was jailed and his phone was seized. A search warrant was obtained so that officials could examine all contents of the phone, Ugalde reported.
Brumley remained in the county jail Monday morning. Bond was set at $20,000 on the possession of child pornography charge, according to jail reports.

TxDOT Warns To Be Aware In Work Zones
| Fatalities Decline in State Highway Construction AreasTxDOT Promotes Safe Driving in Conjunction with National Work Zone Awareness Week |
April 8, 2019
AUSTIN — In spite of a decrease in work zone crashes in Texas last year, 161 people still lost their lives and another 684 were seriously injured. The majority of those fatalities — 84 percent – were motorists and/or their passengers.
As National Work Zone Awareness Week gets underway today, the Texas Department of Transportation highlights its “Be Safe. Drive Smart” campaign, reminding motorists to stay alert and use caution when driving through work zones.
“Work zones present a different environment for drivers to navigate with concrete barriers, slow-moving heavy equipment and vehicles that may make sudden stops,” said TxDOT Executive Director James Bass. “That’s why we’re urging drivers to pay special attention in work zones on Texas roadways, for their protection and the safety of highway work crews.”
In 2018, a total of 25,162 work zone traffic crashes were reported, an average of nearly 70 crashes per day. Fatalities in Texas road construction zones fell 20 percent between 2017 and 2018.
At any given time, Texas has as many as 3,000 active work zones across the 80,000 miles of road TxDOT maintains.Since the leading causes of work zone crashes in Texas are speeding and driver inattention, TxDOT asks motorists to avoid distractions and put their phones away, obey road crew flaggers, slow down and follow posted work zone speed limits. Traffic fines double in work zones when workers are present, and fines can cost up to $2,000.
To safeguard roadside crews and first responders, the state’s Move Over/Slow Down law also requires drivers to move over a lane or reduce their speed to 20 mph below the posted limit when they see flashing blue or amber lights on a TxDOT vehicle, emergency vehicle, tow truck, or law enforcement stopped on the roadside or shoulder. Not doing so can result in a fine of up to $2,000.
For more information, contact [email protected] or (903) 737-9213.
Be Safe. Drive Smart. is a key component of #EndTheStreakTX, a larger grassroots effort that encourages drivers to make safer choices while on the road. Since Nov. 7, 2000, at least one person has died on Texas roadways every single day, and that’s why #EndTheStreakTX asks all Texans to commit to helping end the streak of daily deaths on our roadways.
