Walmart Theft Complaint Results In Felony Arrest

Walmart Theft Complaint Results In Felony Arrest

A Walmart theft complaint resulted in a 48-year-old Barry, Texas man’s arrest Friday afternoon on a felony theft charge, according to arrest reports.

Kristofferson Alexand McKinney (HCSO jail photo)

Sulphur Springs Police officers responded just before 3 p.m. May 29 at Walmart, where a theft was reported. Upon arrival, the officers learned the man had passed all points of sale and was leaving the store without paying for an item of merchandise, according to reports.

An asset protection employee of the store reportedly made contact with the suspect. When police attempted to contact the man, he fled on foot, Sulphur Springs Police Officer Adrian Pruitt alleged in arrest reports. The police officer reportedly chased the man, ordering him to stop. The 48-year-old Barry man allegedly ignored the officer’s order, but was caught shortly thereafter and taken into custody.

The police officer then contacted the asset protection employee, who alleged the man left the store with $229 worth of merchandise he did not pay for. A charge for theft of items with that value would normally garner a misdemeanor charge. However, a records check showed Kristofferson Alexand McKinney had several previous convictions, which enhances the charge to a felony, Pruitt noted in arrest reports.

McKinney remained in Hopkins County jail Saturday, May 30, on the theft of property valued at less than $2,500 with 2 or more prior convictions charge. Bond was set at $5,000 on the felony theft charge, according to jail reports.

Jose Armando Gonzales-Acevedo (HCSO jail photo)

Hopkins County Sheriff‘s deputies reported stopping a Honda Odyssey at 12:18 p.m. May 29 after seeing the vehicle swerve toward a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction on County Road 3502. The driver, identified as 34-year-old Jose Armando Gonzales-Acevedo of Alba, claimed the person in the other vehicle was a friend of his, HCSO Sgt. Shea Shaw and Deputy Richard Brantley alleged in arrest reports.

The driver allegedly admitted to having marijuana in the van. A probable cause search of the van revealed not only marijuana, but drug paraphernalia and two vape pens, sheriff’s officer alleged in arrest reports. The 34-year-old Alba man admitted the pens contained THC oil, resulting in his arrest for possession of less than 1 gram of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance, Shaw alleged in arrest reports.

Gonzales-Acevedo remained in Hopkins County jail Saturday morning on the felony controlled substance charge, according to jail reports.

Church Street-Airport Road Traffic Stop

Hopkins County Sheriff’s Sgt. Tanner Steward and Deputy Justin Wilkerson reported stopping a vehicle on Church Street at Airport Road at 6:10 p.m. May 29 for a defective high center mounted stop light. The driver reportedly agreed to let officers search the vehicle.

Shannon Michelle Miller (HCSO jail photo)

When asked to exit the car so the deputies could conduct the search, the front seat passenger allegedly admitted to having a small amount of marijuana in a pouch inside of her purse. A search of the purse did reveal a small amount of marijuana and more than one rolled marijuana cigarette in a Marlboro cigarette package and a small bag containing a crystal-like substance suspected to be methamphetamine, Shaw alleged in arrest reports. Consequently, the 45-year-old Glenn Heights woman was placed into custody at 6:23 p.m. May 26, 2020, for possession of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance.

After finding no further contraband in the vehicle, deputies transported Shannon Michelle Miller to Hopkins County jail, where the crystal-like substance field-tested positive using a test kit for methamphetamine and weighed 1.04 grams, including packaging, Steward alleged in arrest reports. Thus, Miller was booked on a possession of 1 gram or more but less than 4 grams of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance.

Man Accused Of Threatening A Cumby Police Officer

Posted by on 11:45 am in Featured, Headlines, Hopkins County News, News | Comments Off on Man Accused Of Threatening A Cumby Police Officer

Man Accused Of Threatening A Cumby Police Officer

Jailed Friday night was a 60-year-old man accused of threatening a Cumby Police officer, according to arrest and jail reports.

Kerry Dwayne Kinsey (HCSO jail photo)

Cumby Police Officer Nicholas Geer responded at a Donelton Street address just before 10 p.m. May 29, 2020 at the request of Cumby Police Chief Paul Robertson. 60-year-old Kerry Dwayne Kinsey’s employment with North East Texas Power had been terminated and he was reported to still be in possession of a company truck, Geer noted in arrest reports.

Upon arrival, Geer reportedly turned on the emergency light on his patrol car and parked in front of the address. As he stepped out his vehicle and identified himself as an officer. Geer reported seeing a man unloading tools from the business truck in the driveway.

Geer alleged before he stepped on the property, the man told him to get off of his property or he would shoot him. The officer responded by detaining the man in hand restraints as a safety precaution, then frisked him for weapons but found none, Geer wrote in arrest reports.

The owner of North East Texas Power arrived at the Donelton Street location. While the owner talked with Kinsey about returning the company truck, Kinsey allegedly turned toward the officer and threatened to beat him, Geer alleged in arrest reports.

Kinsey was reportedly placed in the patrol car to wait while the power company owner picked up his son and returned so they could take possession of the company truck. Once the truck was recovered, the 60-year-old was transported to Hopkins County jail, where he was booked for terroristic threat against a peace office, a felony offense, Geer noted in arrest reports.

Kinsey, shown in arrest reports to reside at a Kaufman address, remained in Hopkins County jail Saturday morning, May 30, on the felony terroristic threat charge, according to jail reports.
