July 19 Arrest — A second reckless driver call that same day resulted in the arrest of an Anna man. And again the driver showed signs of having been intoxicated.

A magistrate at the Grayson County Jail set $1,500 bail, payable with a surety bond.

July 20 Arrest — About 11 p.m., Van Alstyne Police on patrol made a traffic stop on a vehicle they saw weaving in and out of the lane of travel.

July 24 arrest — Van Alstyne Police jailed an Arlington woman Tuesday on four charges. She first came to their attention, Hayslip said, on Monday, when police were sent to Texas Bank on the west side of FM121/Van Alstyne Parkway, because of a ‘suspicious person.’ They talked with the woman, and then let her go without incident.

Then, on Tuesday, while conducting routine patrol, they saw the same woman going into a vacant home in a housing development in the 12,000 block of FM 121. Hayslip said it appeared to the officers that was removing items from the house. They immediately contacted the owner, who told them that no one should be at that house.

Officers placed the suspect under arrest for Burglary of a Habitation. Once under arrest, the suspect provided a false identification card to officers. Hayslip said the police used intelligence database checks to identify the female. Then, during a protocol search, they found her. in possession of both cocaine and methamphetamine.

The suspect remained incarcerated in lieu of bail as of Wednesday afternoon on two counts of possession of controlled substance between 4-200 grams, one count each of Burglary of Habitation and Failure to Identify herself.
