A wanted Mount Pleasant woman was arrested on a controlled substance charge early Saturday morning, according to arrest reports.
Sulphur Springs Police Officers Dustin Green and Thad Cook reported stopping a Ford F150 pickup at 1:35 a.m. Feb. 12, 2022, on South Broadway Street for a traffic violation. Upon contact with the woman inside, she refused to identify herself. Later she reportedly gave herself a false name.
Upon being identified as Carolyn Suzanne Hinson, dispatchers advised the 36-year-old Mount Pleasant woman had three outstanding warrants out of Hopkins County. When advised to exit the truck, the officers noted she appeared to be trying to hide something.
The woman was placed into custody at 2:04 a.m. Feb. 12, 2022, and the vehicle was inventoried prior to impound. Police found a pouch with a baggy containing a white, crystal-like substance they believed to be methamphetamine in the driver’s seat. The substance and packaging weighed 3.1 grams.
Consequently, Hinson was booked into Hopkins County jail for possession of 1 gram or more but less than 4 grams of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance and failure to identify, in addition to the outstanding Hopkins County charges for bail jumping and failure to appear on a failure to identify charge, and bond forfeiture on a failure to identify as a fugitive from justice charge and a Nov. 21, 2020, possession of less than 1 gram of Penalty Group 1 controlled substance charges. She also shows to be wanted in Collin County for bond forfeiture on a driving while license invalid warrant.
Hinson remained in Hopkins County jail shortly before lunch Saturday, Feb. 12, 2022, on the charges, according to jail reports. Recommended bonds on the warrants totaled $35,000.
