Police Blotter, week ending 4.25.24
By Mary Jane Farmer, for the Van Alstyne News, Scene In Town.
During the past week (during the time this Website was down), Van Alstyne Police jailed two people, both of whom had arrest warrants in place.
The first was on April 21, when police were called about a reckless driver, according to Van Alstyne Police Lt. Steven Hayslip. When they located the described vehicle and got it to a stop, they ran the driver’s name. And that’s when they learned that the Sherman woman had an arrest warrant issued by a Justice of the Peace north of Van Alstyne, charging the woman with Assault Causing Bodily Injury-Family Violence. Once incarcerated, she posted bail of $5,000 via surety bond for her release.
The next day, April 22, at about 1:30 a.m., police made a traffic stop on U.S. Highway 75 at Van Alstyne Parkway. The stop was made because the officer saw the vehicle’s registration had expired.
One of the occupants, a Honey Grove resident, was found to have an outstanding warrant charging him with Evading Arrest or Detention with a Vehicle or Watercraft. Thus, following protocol, the officer(s) placed him under arrest and conducted a search of his “person,” Hayslip said. That search uncovered approximately 7 grams of Methamphetamine, a methamphetamine pipe, and several Hydrocodone (pain) pills.
Police jailed the suspect on charges of Possession of Controlled Substance PG 1 between 4-200 grams, Possession of a Controlled Substance PG 1-B between 1-4 grams, and on the outstanding warrant.
Bail was set at a total of $45,000, payable in surety bonds, and as of April 25, he remained incarcerated.
