Authorities: Two Arrested After Near Crashes
Local officials reported two arrested after near crashes. A 26-year-old Cumby man and a 51-year-old Sulphur Springs woman were jailed overnight Friday on a DWI charge each, according to arrest reports.
The first arrest followed a traffic stop by Sulphur Springs Police at 10:43 p.m. April 17. A driver reportedly failed to stop the vehicle at a designated stopping point on Jackson Street, according to arrest reports.
While being stopped, the car “nearly struck a parked vehicle,” police alleged in arrest reports.
On contact, police alleged a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage could be smelled on the driver’s breath. The the 26-year-old Cumby driver allegedly exhibited classic signs and indicators of intoxication, including swaying while standing, walking unsteadily, slurred speech and bloodshot eyes.
Police took the man into custody at 10:57 p.m. for DWI. He reportedly agreed to provide a blood sample for testing. The sample was taken at 11:24 p.m. and the man was booked into jail for DWI, according to arrest reports.
The 26-year-old Cumby man was released from the county jail Saturday. Bond on the DWI charge was set at $1,000, according to jail reports.
The second arrest followed a report by Hopkins County EMS at 2:13 a.m. April 18, of a woman failing to maintain a single lane in a Dodge Ram pickup. The truck also almost struck several fences and curbs with the truck, EMS alleged.
A Hopkins County sheriff’s deputy responded, reported spotting a truck matching that description and stopped the driver for a traffic violation, according to arrest reports. Field sobriety tests were administered, then the 51-year-old Sulphur Springs woman was taken into custody for DWI, the deputy noted in arrest reports. She allegedly agreed to a blood draw. The sample was taken at the hospital lab, then she was transported to jail on the DWI charge, deputies alleged in arrest reports.
The 51-year-old Sulphur Springs was released from Hopkins County jail later Saturday. Bond was set at $1,000, according to jail reports.
