An attempt to serve a warrant at a Van Sickle Street apartment complex reportedly resulted in not one but two arrests, according to police reports.
Sulphur Springs Police Special Crimes Unit Lt. Mark Estes Estes and Sgt. Joe Scott went at 9:45 a.m. Oct. 9 to the apartment complex, where 27-year-old Darien Tre Sims was reported to be staying, to serve him with one felony and two traffic warrants. When patrol officers attempted to contact him, 27-year-old Trinay Deshawn Robinson allegedly refused to open the door at the address, Estes and Scott alleged in arrest reports. Upon finally making contact with someone there, they had Sims walk out of the apartment, according to arrest reports.
Sims allegedly refused officers commands and was placed onto the ground using “the least amount of force possible to make the arrest.” Sims was placed into handcuffs and officers checked the residence.
