At Least 5 Jailed In Hopkins County On Felony Warrants

At least 5 people were jailed in Hopkins County on felony warrants between April 7 and April 11, according to arrest and jail reports.

Police officers were dispatched around 11:40 a.m. April 9 to a report of trespassing at Walmart. While responding to the call, officers reported seeing the suspect’s vehicle near a South Broadway Street financial institution.

An investigative stop of the white Nissan Sentra allegedly revealed Lashonda Renee Brown to be the passenger in the car. A records check showed the 42-year-old Sulphur Springs woman to be wanted by the US Marshal’s Service on a charge of amphetamine-selling methamphetamine. Consequently, Brown was taken into custody at 12:06 p.m. and transported to jail on the charge, Sulphur Springs Police Officers Silas Whaley and Adrian Pruitt alleged in arrest reports.

Jail records show Brown was booked into Hopkins County jail eight times between 1997 and 2005. She was booked in after being sentenced to serve a 10-day commitment in 1998 for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and being assessed an 18-month sentence in 2005 for violation of probation on an unauthorized use of motor vehicle charge, according to jail reports.

Brown was booked April 9, 2020, into Hopkins County jail, where she remained Saturday, April 11, on the US Marshals warrant, according to jail reports.

(He was originally arrested on a warrant for the firearm charge on Dec. 31, 2018, and remained in Hopkins County jail until March 8, 2019, according to jail reports.)

Gomez remained in Hopkins County jail Saturday, April 11, on the violation of probation charge.

Deputy Steve Huffman traveled to Brownsville, Tennessee, where he took 45-year-old L C Outlaw Jr., 46, into custody at 11:30 a.m. April 7 at Haywood County jail on Hopkins County warrant. Huffman transported Outlaw to Sulphur Springs, where the Tennessee man was booked into Hopkins County jail later that evening for surety off bond on an unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon warrant, according to arrest reports.

Outlaw and his wife were arrested on Nov. 28, 2016, following a traffic stop by Cumby police. He was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon after a gun was found in the glove box of their vehicle, and she was charged with marijuana possession, officers alleged in the 2016 reports. He was released from jail the next day on $10,000 bond on the firearm charge, according to jail reports.

Hopkins County Sheriff’s Cpl. Todd Evans and Investigator Michael Russell took 40-year-old Stacy Pauline Williams of Sulphur Springs into custody on Church Street at Houston Street at 9:02 a.m. April 7.

Officers, aware of the warrant for her arrest, went to the address. The woman allegedly came to the door. The deputies reported finding nothing illegal during a “consent search” of the room, but the woman did admit to using marijuana, Evans and Russell alleged in arrest reports.

Consequently, Williams was taken into custody for violation of parole, which she was on for a fraud-deliver of Schedule III, IV or V prescription charge charge, according to arrest reports.
