Numerous agencies, including Mount Vernon, Sulphur Springs, Denton, Plano and Fort Worth Police Departments contributed to this investigation and arrest.
The investigation is ongoing and leads on numerous other suspects involved are being pursued. More information will be released as it becomes available. Sheriff Ricky Jones commended Lt.
