After having him step out of the car, Castro advised Horton of the warrant and took him into custody. The car was released to the passenger, according to arrest reports.
Horton was booked into Hopkins County jail for the second time this year on a warrant for violation of probation, which he was on for possession of a Penalty Group 2 controlled substance in a drug-free zone. He was also jailed March 27-April 16, 2021, on the charge as well as a Smith County warrant for violation of probation, which he was on for indecent exposure-adult, according to jail reports.

Wildcats Basketball Goes 1-1 in Day Two of Allen Holiday Tournament
Tuesday, Dec. 28 was a busy one for the men’s basketball team, taking on two tough opponents in Rowlett and Frisco Memorial.
In the first match against Rowlett, Sulphur Springs jumped out to a 16-7 lead thanks to scoring from Parker Whisenhunt and Caleb Alexander, who finished with 22 and 16, respectively.
Coach Brandon Shaver’s squad wound up ahead of the Eagles 25-18 after one thanks to the aforementioned sharp shooters.
The game opened up in the second with both teams scoring 17+ as the Wildcats lead 47-35 at the half.
Rowlett continued their scoring ways in the second half, continuously chipping away at Sulphur Springs’ lead to pull within 10 heading in to the fourth. Coach Shaver’s team struggled to sink free throws in the second half which would have changed the complexion of the game, and the Eagles cashed in on the opportunity to pull the game within five late.
A clutch three from Branson Lynn sealed the victory for the Wildcats as Sulphur Springs edged the Eagles 70-67.
After Whisenhunt and Alexander, Lynn was up next in scoring for the men’s basketball team with 12. Cason Arrington finished with nine, followed by Kordrick Turner who got seven in the first half.
Malachi Myles and Jackson Darrow rounded out scoring for the Wildcats with four points between the two of them.
After the win over Rowlett, Coach Shaver’s team took a break before taking on Frisco Memorial for the second game on the day.
The Warriors, according to last week’s TABC rankings are #7 in 5A.
They showed exactly why early, taking a big 22-9 lead heading in to the second quarter.
Frisco Memorial continued to show their offensive prowess in the second. Luckily for Coach Shaver’s squad, shots started to fall for Sulphur Springs as the Wildcats were only outscored by one, 22-21.
The men’s basketball team fought tooth-and-nail to keep up with the top-10 ranked Warriors but fell 82-69 to close out day two of the Allen tournament.
A back-and-forth affair to the finish, the Wildcats fought for three quarters to chip in to the Warriors lead, but each time Sulphur Springs began to shift the momentum Frisco Memorial took it right back.
Four Wildcats finished in double digits:
- Caleb Alexander — 17
- Kordrick Turner — 15
- Parker Whisenhunt — 12
- Cason Arrington — 11
Brandon Lynn wrapped up day two with a six point game against Frisco Memorial. Malachi Myles and Jackson Darrow got four and three, respectively. Bull Turner notched a free throw in the fourth.
The 1-1 day two performance puts the Wildcats basketball team’s season record at 17-6 (1-0 district).
Coach Shaver and his men’s basketball team close out their participation in the Allen Holiday tournament on Wednesday, Dec. 29.
Their final contest pits the Wildcats against Mesquite Horn in the Auxiliary Gym at 12:30 P.M.

Construction of Fitness Court Enters Next Phase
Construction of a fitness court in Pacific Park enters the second phase this week with additional ground work. Crews were out working Tuesday morning, cementing a blue layer of the project to the concrete foundation. The project should really start taking off, now that the foundation has had the requisite month to set.
The concrete slab for the fitness court had been poured by Nov. 29, 2021, and is required to set for 28 days before any additional work can commence. Crews had begun taking advantage of the unseasonably warm weather on Dec. 28, 2021, to begin the next phase of construction on the fitness court.
“This is an outdoor gym that offers free fitness opportunities to any residents and visitors and is fully accessible for all ages and abilities,” Sulphur Springs Assistant City Manager/Community Development Director Tory Niewiadomski explained during a July 2021 City Council meeting.
The City of Sulphur Springs applied for and received a $25,000 grant from the National Fitness Campaign to construct a fitness court. After an evaluation of the city’s park facilities, the appreciable improvements planned at Pacific Park made it the recommended location for an Outdoor Fitness Court.
The outdoor fitness court is among several updates and renovations identified by the community for Pacific Park during the planning process for an updated Parks and Recreation Open Space Master Plan for city recreational facilities.
Pacific Park Renovations
Sulphur Springs voters in November 2019 approved funding for Pacific Park renovations as well as a new Senior Citizens Center to be constructed on Oak Avenue. Construction of a new Grays Building using that funding was completed in June 2021, along with new sidewalks around the building and front facing parking spaces.
On August 27, 2020, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) Commission approved the City of Sulphur Springs’ grant request for $1.5 million, with a $750,000 match contribution from the city. The TPWD grant will go toward additional renovations in Pacific Park. Crews have already worked on some drainage issues around the park.
New playground equipment, ordered through BuyBoard purchasing cooperative, is reported to be in. The area has to be prepared and weather hold for that project to move forward. The $245,000 project designed by MHS Planning & Design and provided by Whirlix was preferred by 84 percent of community members who responded to a March 2021 online survey.
Additional improvements planned at Pacific Park include the basketball pavilion and new restrooms. Walking paths and landscaping are expected to follow thereafter. Funding permitting, city officials are hoping to be able to irrigate the park so that it will continue to be lush like Celebration Plaza.
Senior Citizens Center
Construction of a new activity building for senior citizens using the voter approved funding has been on hold for several months, first due to skyrocketing costs of materials which have contractors holding off bidding on projects and others guaranteeing prices only for a week. Availability of construction crews too has had another impact on construction projects, putting some contractors behind schedule. The city made the decision to hold off for a little while in the hope that construction costs, especially for steel and lumber, stabilize soon. Now, the city is holding off as an application is being prepared for submission for yet another grant.
A Texas Community Resiliency Program grant from Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs would allow the City of Sulphur Springs to not only enlarge the new Senior Citizens Center building to be constructed on 301 Oak Ave. If fully funded at the requested amount, the new design plan would include all wish list items for the new facility,
The city accepted proposals for grant administration services for the project through 10 a.m. today (Nov. 30). During the regular meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 7, the City Council agreed to contract with KSBR LLC for grant writing services at a rate of 13% of the Community Resiliency Program grant. The city plans to apply for $1.5 million in grant funding, which would double the total project budget. That should not only cover additional costs of materials but also allow the city to increase the size of the new senior citizens center building from about 8,500 square-feet to about 11,000-square feet. That, Niewiadomski noted, is “kind of what our desired output was from the onset, but due to budget constraints we had to reduce things to try to make it work.”
Passenger In Monday Morning Chase Held In County Jail In Lieu Of $225,000 In Bonds
Driver Who Fled Has Yet To Be Apprehended
The driver who managed to get away from Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office deputies during an early morning traffic stop and Monday morning chase has yet to be located Tuesday afternoon. The 32-year-old passenger apprehended after a brief foot chase Dec. 27 remained in Hopkins County jail Tuesday evening in lieu of $225,000 bond.
According to arrest and sheriff’s reports, HCSO Deputies Elijah Fite and Josh Davis initiated a traffic stop on a silver four-door car at 12:54 a.m. Dec. 27, 2021, for a defective license plate light. The driver reportedly continued for about a mile before exiting I-30 and stopping on U.S. Highway 67 near Brashear. When the deputies asked the driver to exit the vehicle, the driver allegedly threw the vehicle in drive and drove off, traveling a short distance before pulling over.
The driver and his passenger, identified in arrest reports as Aleman Sandoval, then immediately jumped out of the vehicle and took off running, according to sheriff’s reports. After a brief foot pursuit, the deputies were able to take Aleman-Sandoval into custody.
A search of the area by local law enforcement officers was launched. A Texas Department of Public Safety helicopter scanned the area and Texas Department of Criminal Justice dogs were reported to have been called in and searched the area later Monday morning.
The search was unsuccessful. The driver was reportedly last seen early Dec. 27, 2021, wearing a blue long sleeved shirt, blue jeans and a white mesh hat with a gray bill. The sheriff’s office released two photos (see above) of the suspect reported to have been driving the vehicle. Anyone who sees the suspect who was still at-large late Monday morning is instructed not to approach the man, but to call 911.
During an inventory of the vehicle prior the pair abandoned at the roadside, prior to the vehicle being towed to the sheriff’s office, deputies reported finding 5 Ziploc type bags that combined had a total weight of 5.052 kilograms. The substance in one of the bags field-tested positive as meth.
As a result, the deputies transported the passenger, identified in arrest reports as 32-year-old Jose Aleman-Sandoval, to the county jail, where he was booked for manufacture or delivery of more than 400 grams of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance and evading arrest or detention.
Aleman-Sandoval, who jail reports show is known by the alias Cristian Mejia, remained in Hopkins County jail Tuesday evening, Dec. 28, 2021. His bonds totaled $225,000: $200,000 on the manufacture or delivery charge and $25,000 on the evading arrest charge.
HCSO officials anticipate seeking warrants to file charges at-large on the elusive driver of the vehicle who ran from deputies Monday morning.
If you have an emergency, dial 9-1-1

A Year In Review: 4-H Agricultural Plan In 2021
RELEVANCE
By Dr. Mario Villarino, Extension Agent, [email protected]
4-H Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR) projects are an important component of the county 4-H program in Texas. Currently, 63 percent of Texas 4-H members are enrolled in a livestock project. These projects provide youth with subject matter education, as well as valuable learning experiences, character education and leadership skills critical for youth.
RESPONSE
Adult volunteer engagement is critical to administer the program and expand the outreach. As today’s youth are further removed from farming, many do not understand the importance of agriculture and how it impacts their daily lives. This plan included a path to the plate program component as part of a summer camp activity. The plan included monthly veterinary science sessions using a directional specific curriculum intended to provide education to achieve Veterinary Assistant Certification.
The objective of the plan was to provide 4-H members with excellent learning opportunities within the ANR project areas. This plan utilized a 4-H Livestock Project Coalition to provide direction and support for the programs and events conducted.
The following activities were implemented during 2020-2021:
- Livestock Clinics (beef, poultry, swine, goat/lamb) (October – January).
- 12 Veterinary Sessions (Monthly).
- Path to the Plate session in beef and byproducts (Multi-County Camp).
- Livestock County Show (Feb, 2021).
- Dairy Livestock Show (June, 2021).
- Participation in all major livestock shows.
- Validation of steers, heifers, goats, lambs, swine and broilers.
- 52 Home project visits.
- 25 Press releases related to Livestock Youth Projects.
Evaluation Strategy
Retrospective post evaluation surveys were utilized to measure knowledge gain and adoptions of best practices for the evaluated programs. One hundred percent (31/31) responded to the evaluation instrument (Path to the Plate Expo).
RESULTS
2021 Path To the Plate Beef Session (Beef and Leather Works)
- 94% (29/31) indicated a better understanding of the path food production takes to get to our plate.
- 90% (28/31) Indicated a better understanding of the way farmers and ranchers produce the food that we eat.
- 87% (27/31) indicated a better understanding of the connection between agriculture and health.
- 84% (26/31) learned the value of agriculture in daily life.
- 72% (13/19) learned the importance of eating a healthy diet and a variety of food.
- 61% (19/31) indicated a better understanding of the importance and nutritional value of various foods.
2021 4-H Livestock
- 100% (14/14) Indicated to be more willing to work with other.
- 93% (13/14) Indicated to be more comfortable speaking with others.
- 93% (13/14) Indicated to be more confident with their abilities as a leader.
- 86% (12/14) Indicated to be more comfortable working is a team.
Saputo Sewer Main Project Finishes Under Construction Budget
The City of Sulphur Springs has closed out the Saputo sewer main project, a project spanning several months but which finished under the construction budget. City officials will soon be submitting all of the documentation and paperwork for the project to the appropriate state authorities as stipulated for the Texas Community Development Block Grant Program funding.
This $750,000 sewer project was funded entirely by a Texas Community Development Block Grant from the Texas Department of Agriculture. The new main supplements an older undersized main.
The path of the new main begins at Saputo and continues under the interstate. It then continues south for 3,500 feet before connecting to an existing trunk line, which rings the KSST studio. The new main has a 15-inch inch diameter.
The grant was made possible by a $50 million plant upgrade at Saputo, and their cooperation with the Texas Department of Agriculture. Without their cooperation this project would not have been possible.
“The match on this project was $50 million, by Saputo and they have produced a match of $50 million – $50,661,000, which is over a half million more than what they needed,” said Sulphur Springs Assistant City Manager/Community Development Director Tory Niewiadomski during a final required public hearing conducted at 5 p.m. Dec. 27, 2021, at the Municipal Building to review performance and activities completed under the TxCDBG contract. “Saputo provided 31 new jobs with their expansion, of which 26 were low to moderate income individuals.”
The construction budget was $687,000, and the project finished up under that with $616,000 in construction costs, Niewiadomski said. Another $50,000 in administrative costs go to Ark-Tex Council of Governments, and $12,779 for acquisition of easements. Niewiadomski expressed appreciation for Saputo’s cooperation in the project. Assistant City Manager/Finance Director Lesa Smith expressed thanks to KSST owners for granting the easements needed for the project.
The construction process delayed by a year, began about a year ago. In December 2020, notices seeking bids for five types of materials for the sewer main project were posted. In January 2021, Smith reported receiving materials bids from eighth different companies. Contractors to provide the materials were selected during a special City Council meeting conducted Jan. 21, 2021, via Zoom and streamed on the city’s YouTube channel. Materials had been ordered by the Feb. 2, 2021 City Council meeting, City Manager Marc Maxwell noted in his monthly manager’s report.
Construction on the project had begun by April 6, 2021, when a contractor was selected from among five bids for the sewer line bore. The project was 40 percent complete by May 4, 2021. The project was half complete by June 1, 2021, slowed by spring rains; work had commenced around the sides and back of KSST studios and had begun in front of the station at the start of June 2021. Crews had to periodically stop to scrape red clay off red clay, where it has piled up on chains and tires of heavy equipment. The project really took off after that, however, with 80 percent of it completed, Maxwell noted in his monthly manager’s report to the City Council on July 7, 2021.
On Aug. 3, 2021, the Saputo Sewer Main project neared completion. The City’s Capital Construction Division had completed its work, and waited for the contractor to bore under Interstate 30 to connect to the existing system at Saputo. The contractor had finally brought equipment and materials to the project site, but on Oct. 5, 2021, had not begun boring for the last segment of the project. On Nov. 2, 2021, the contractor was reported to have about a week’s worth of boring under I-30 to complete the project.
On Nov. 4, 2021, the project hit a snag when the contractor hit the gas main just outside Saputo, city officials reported at the time. East Industrial Drive was closed to through traffic from just east of the Bill Bradford Road exit off of I-30 to the Bill Bradford Road underpass. Traffic was routed north onto Commercial Services Drive, then onto Como Street, for several hours. Saputo was evacuated while as Atmos, firefighters, city and company employees worked to try to stem the natural gas flow and repair the problem. The roadway was reopened later that evening.
Maxwell, in his manager’s report to the City Council on Dec. 7, 2021, stated the Saputo project was complete except for a final inspection.
On Monday, Dec. 27, 2021, Niewiadomski during the required public hearing at city hall. Niewiadomski gave an update on the project. The next big project will be rebuilding of College Street, in a fashion similar to the rebuild of Connally Street.
