College Street Traffic Stop
Sulphur Springs Police Officer Silas Whaley reported stopping a Ford Escort at 9:18 p.m. Dec. 9 on College Street for failure to signal intent to turn within 100 feet. The driver, Tommy Lee Davis, reportedly agreed to let officer search him and the vehicle for illegal contraband.
