Man Jailed For Allegedly Trying To Discard K2
April 2, 2019 – Cameron Joel Wilks, 26, was arrested Monday afternoon for possession of a Penalty Group 2A controlled substance and tampering with evidence.
Sulphur Springs Police Officer Adrian Pruitt reported making a pedestrian stop on the man, who was observed throwing an item into a vacant lot in the area of Robertson and Towne streets. The man, identified in arrest reports as Wilks, was released at that time.
A witness then contacted police, reporting the man had returned to the lot, picked up an item and was fleeing.
The officer then reported seeing the man moving fast through the vacant lot, so he stopped him. The man, then, allegedly threw at item out as he stopped. The man was reportedly detained.
Pruitt, in arrest reports, said he retrieved a small blue plastic case from the area in the man allegedly threw the item. The case contained what the officer suspected to be K2, resulting in the man’s arrest at about 4:30 p.m. April 1 on both the possession charge as well as tampering with evidence, the alleged K2.
According to jail reports, Wilks’ bond was set at $10,000 on the tampering with evidence charge and $1,000 on the other; he remained in jail at noon Tuesday on both charges.

“Forgotten”, a Fantasy Play Presented by C.H.E.S.S. at Main Street Theater
Imagine… Wendy, Michael and Tinkerbell re-uniting 60 years after their Neverland childhood, and Captain Hook reappearing to trick Peter Pan into a villainous showdown…but that’s what happens in “Forgotten”, to be staged at Main Street Theater in six performances. Catch the play Friday and Saturday April 5th and 6th at 7pm, and Sunday April 7 in a 2pm matinee. The following weekend, the play’s performance schedule is slightly different; it’s Thursday April 11 at 7pm, Saturday April 13 at 7pm and Sunday April 14 at 2pm. Be sure and catch a performance!
Actors in the play are students of C.H.E.S.S, or Christian Homeschool Educators of Sulphur Springs. The school’s student population comes from about 75 families located across NE Texas from Paris to Canton to Commerce. We met five student actors who reside in the Ridgeway and Peerless areas of Hopkins County. The play’s director is student Kyla Deterding who is a high school junior and already a veteran of community theater in Sulphur Springs. Two of her brothers are also in the play. Kane Deterding, portraying the “older Michael”, is age 14 and is a 7th grade student, while Ezekiel Deterding, age 12, plays Peter Pan. The Crawford family has two students in C.H.E.S.S; Macy age 17 who is a high school Senior who plays Tinkerbell and her brother, Zachary, who plays the character of Bill Jukes. According to the Director, there are 37 students in the cast ranging in age from 4 to 19, while the crew is made up largely of parents of students. She says it’s a fun action tale with lots of sword-fighting and archery, while according to Macy, it’s nostalgic, but with some plot twists that make it different from the original story.
Main Street Theater is located downtown Sulphur Springs at 225 Main Street. Call the box office for reservations at 903-885-1017 or go to mainsstreettheatre,.com. Tickets are $10 person.
