Intoxicated Person Complaint Results in Controlled Substance Arrest
A 47-year-old man was arrested on a controlled substance charge just before 7 a.m. Friday, June 7, after police found him in possession of suspected methamphetamine.
Sulphur Springs Police Officer Brandon Murphy was dispatched to the 1200 block of Texas Street, to a report of a person thought to possibly be intoxicated and to be in possession of weapons. Murphy reported finding a man, identified in arrest reports as Milton Pineda, outside the residence from which the 911 call had been made. After contacting the man, Murphy noted he appeared to him to be under the influence of a narcotic.
Murphy alleged the man had bloodshot eyes, was very talkative and seemed agitated. Pineda was placed into handcuffs and patted down as a safety precaution. A black pouch with two plastic baggies containing a white crystal-like substance Murphy believed to be methamphetamine was found in Pineda’s front pocket, the SSPD officer alleged in arrest reports.
Consequently, Pineda was arrested for possession of 1 gram or more but less than 4 grams of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance in a drug-free zone, according to arrest reports.

Dairy Fest Kicks Off Friday With Opening Ceremony, Hot Air Balloons
The Hopkins County Dairy Festival kicked off Friday with an opening ceremony, complete with ribbon cutting. A representative from Sentator Bob Hall’s office sent certificates “extending most sincere congratulations” on the opening ceremony which commemorates the the festival’s 60th anniversary.
Recognized was Lynda Hager, who not only has been involved with the Dairy Festival for a long time, but has been a member of the Dairy Festival Board of Directors for 55 of the event’s 60 years.
To honor that commitment, Hagar has been named grand marshal for the Dairy Festival Parade, which is scheduled to depart at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 8, from Buford Park, down Houston Street to Church Street, past the square and out Gilmer/South Broadway Street to Lee Street.
“It’s been fun every year. We have a great board that stays here and keep working on it. It’s a working board,” Hager said.
She said the honor of being asked to lead the parade as grand marshal is “so special.”
Hager said the festival has seen many changes over the years. For instance, the props used during the annual HCDF Queen’s Pageant and Coronation were once all made locally. Now, many of them are rented for cost and efficiency. Also, the floats once were 40 feet long. They’re smaller of late so that they can be constructed and stored in home garages until they’re ready to make their way to the park for the procession.
Opening events started with the Hot Air Balloons Media Fight at 6 a.m. Friday and weather permitting, will continue with the Hot Air Balloon Rally and Glow from 6 to 9 p.m. tonight (June 7) at Shannon Oaks Church on East Shannon Road. Check it out here:
A Hot Air Balloon Rally and Flight will be held from 6:30 to 7:30 a.m., and at 6 p.m. Saturday, June 8, at Shannon Oaks Church.
