Hopkins County Grand Jury Hands Up 83 Indictments
A Hopkins County Grand Jury handed up 83 indictments late last week. A majority of the indictments were for Possession of a Controlled Substance. However, there were a number of other charges resulting in the indictments. Those arrested prior to indictment include:
Ricky Lynn Hunt was indicted for two counts of Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child.
Alejandro Castro Rodriguez was indicted for Smuggling of Persons. A grey Honda van with 10 passengers was stopped by a Hopkins County Deputy last December at the 132-mile marker on I-30. The driver of the van had only a Mexican ID but claimed to have a driver’s license from Alabama and Mexico. A records check revealed the statement false. Rodriguez was placed under arrest for no valid driver’s license. However, the other nine Hispanic males in the vehicle said they had paid individuals to illegally bring them into the United States from Mexico and were now being taken to another location to work so they could pay their debt to the “coyotes”. Rodriguez, 26, of Mexico, stated he was taking the nine persons from Dallas to Mississippi in order to work. Due to his statements and the statements of the passengers, the deputy determined that Rodriguez had encouraged them to enter or remain in this country in violation of federal law by concealing, harboring, or shielding them from detection.
Sherrie Lee Cooksey was indicted for Burglary of a Habitation. A call to Sulphur Springs Police alerted them to a burglary of a residence on Bellview Street. Local police found Cooksey, 40, of Sulphur Springs, hiding in a bathroom at the residence. The complainant stated she observed Cooksey inside a vehicle at the residence when she arrived. She believed Cooksey was attempting to steal the vehicle. Since the complainant was not the owner of the residence, the officer contacted the owner who gave permission to enter the residence.
Amario Felician Zamora was indicted for Burglary of a Habitation.
Bryanna Elizabeth Timms was indicted for Hinder Apprehension or Prosecution Known Felon.
Two individuals arrested in Hopkins County Wednesday were wanted on warrants after Henderson County authorities responded to a home in the Mabank area February 5th in response to a 21-month-old who shot itself in the face.

She and David Setharia Whittick, 33, of Mabank were both wanted on warrants for the above charges. When the deputies found Timms, she told the deputies she did not know where Whittick could be located. As the deputy drove her to jail, her phone GPS was sounding a tone and providing a location. The deputy took a side trip to the location. He drove back to the Best Western. Timms told the deputy that her mom had made her reservation and she did not think Whittick was at the hotel.

Sherriff Tatum hosted his eighth annual Easter Egg Hunt. There was face painting, contest giveaways, cake walks, egg hunts and much more! There was a bunch of families out enjoying the nice weather and all the fun activities.
Trustees worked behind the scenes, cooking hot dogs, hamburgers, and Oil Field sausage, as well as helping to set out eggs for the different age groups.
The sheriff’s office hosted a giveaway for kids from different age groups. They had kid’s bicycles, baby dolls, toys and other prizes. D.A.R.E. was giving away a Grill and AR-15, and the winners of the DARE raffle will be announced on July 27th at the Civic Center.
Brookshires donated free Easter egg baskets, one was a giveaway for a girls and boy basket and the other was a contest to guess the number of candies in the jar and win a basket.
The C cruiser was the musical entertainment and sang classical family friendly songs like “Old time rock and Roll”. Kids rode the train bucket rides around the civic center grounds.

The group hopes to pray for healing and less divisiveness. The verse the group is focusing on is 2nd Corinthians 7:14. Shirts will also be available at SisterBabyz.
