Main Street Traffic Stop
Sulphur Springs Police Officer Robble Acosta reported stopping a GMC Sierra with a defective taillight pass around 11:35 p.m. Wednesday in the 1200 block of Main Street. Upon contact with the driver, Acosta reported smelling a marijuana odor. The 23-year-old driver agreed and notified the officer the console contained a handgun. Acosta had Timothy Cole August Kelsey exit the truck. The officer talked to the passengers while conducting a search of it.
Acosta reported finding a small bag containing a white powdered substance he suspected to be cocaine and a rolled $20 bill in the back seat. While placing the item in his patrol vehicle Acosta observed a bag with a white powdered substance next to his front passenger side tire. When the driver and passengers were asked about the contraband, the driver Kelsey allegedly admitted the substance in the bag was cocaine. It also field-tested positive for cocaine.
Consequently, Kelsey was arrested for possession of 1 gram or more but less than 4 grams of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance and unlawful carrying of a weapon. He remained in Hopkins County jail Thursday morning, March 18, 2021. Bond was set at $10,000 on the controlled substance charge and $2,000 on the weapon charge, according to jail reports.
