From reports provided by Van Alstyne Police

Van Alstyne Police Sgt. Steven Hayslip reported on the police department’s activities during the days between Nov. 22 and Nov. 28.

During this time, police received 111 calls for service resulting in seven police reports and four offense reports. Of those three were for motor vehicle crashes, one of which resulted in minor injuries for one occupant. None resulted in anyone being taken to jail.

Arrest —At about 4 p.m. on Nov. 22, officers made a traffic stop on U.S. Hwy. 75 south of Van Alstyne Parkway. The driver, a Van (Smith County) female, was discovered to be in possession of Xanax. Hayslip said that Xanax is listed in Penalty Group 3 of the Texas Health & Safety Code. Police took the suspect to Grayson County Jail on a charge of possession of controlled substance, PG3 less than 28 grams.

A magistrate set bail at $1,500, which the suspect paid with a surety bond and released two days later.

Arrest — On Nov. 23, about 9 a.m., a traffic stop on U.S. 75 resulted in another arrest. Hayslip said this one was, again, south of Van Alstyne Parkway. The driver, a man from Shreveport, LA, was discovered to be in possession of illegal drugs. Hayslip said they found both methamphetamine and marijuana in his possession. Police had the suspect incarcerated in Grayson County Jail.

Meth is listed in the Texas Health & Safety Code’s Penalty Group 1, resulting in a charge of possession of controlled substance, PG 1. Police also charged him with possession of marijuana less than 2 grams.

Bail on these charges totaled $2,000, which the suspect paid three days later with surety bonds.

Arrest — On Nov. 24, about 11:30 p.m., someone called police about a reckless driver. Hayslip said they located the vehicle and saw it in a traffic violation. They made a traffic stop. During the resulting investigation, they found the driver was driving while intoxicated and jailed him on a DWI charge. Since the arrest was made just before midnight, it was during the night of Nov. 25 when book-in was completed.

A magistrate set bail at $1,500, which the suspect paid in a surety bond on Nov. 25 for his release.
