Emory Man Arrested On Controlled Substance Charge
An Emory man caught deputies’ attention by failing to dim his headlights as he approached them on Hillcrest Drive, but the controlled substance in his pocket resulted in his arrest, according to arrest reports.
While talking to the man he stopped at 1:26 a.m. Sunday morning, Oct. 9, 2022, for failing to dim his high beam lights he passed him, Hopkins County Sheriff‘s Deputy Isaac Foley noticed the car smoking.
The driver got out of the car as Deputy Justin Wilkerson arrived. Wilkerson patted him down for weapons. The 27-year-old Emory man agreed to empty his pockets. He took a mints can out and shook it; it sounded like it contained rocks. When asked about the contents, Foley noted Micheal Todd Wallace Jr. became extremely nervous. A bag inside the can was found to contain a white crystal-like substance the deputies believed to be methamphetamine, Foley alleged in arrest reports.
Wallace was taken into custody at 1:35 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 9, and transported to HCSO. The substance was seized as evidence. It weighed 0.433 gram, including packaging and field-tested positive for meth, resulting in Wallace being booked into jail at 2:26 a.m. on a possession of less than 1 gram of a Penalty Group 1/1-B controlled substance, according to arrest reports.
Wallace was released later Sunday, Oct. 9, 2022, on a $5,000 bond on the felony controlled substance charge, according to jail reports.
HCSO jail personnel report they are currently unable to post on the jail’s public site new images, due to issues switching to a different computer system. Thus, only photos of individuals who were arrested and whose photos were posted prior to the start of the system conversion process are available. No photo was available Monday for Michel Todd Wallace Jr.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month: 287,850 Reasons To Go Pink
CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs has ONE mission: To Extend the Healing Ministry of Jesus Christ.
By Jennifer Heitman, Senior Market Development, CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs, [email protected]
Go Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness
This past Friday night, I was pleased to see many of our local Northeast Texas high schools “going pink” for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We even see the pink accents from socks to mouth guards that the NFL football players are wearing.
This is with good reason. Breast cancer affects almost 1 in 8 women in the United States and is a curable disease if detected early enough. The American Cancer Society estimates that 287,850 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed this year. These alarming statistics come with a plea for women to understand the importance of scheduling an annual mammogram.
The Ruth & Jack Gillis Women’s Center inside of the CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital in Sulphur Springs provides compassionate care and services needed with the most innovative technology available. This includes Digital 3D mammography, which has proven to increase the detection of breast cancer. A 3D mammogram captures multiple images, or slices, of the breast from several angles, creating a multi-directional image in which masses and breast cancer are easier to see. It benefits women with dense breast tissue by allowing for a more sensitive evaluation. It also reduces the chances of unnecessary screenings due to false alarms.
We encourage you to wear pink, and let it be a reminder to you and your loved ones to be proactive about your health. Schedule your mammogram here today by speaking with your physician, or call 903.438.4325.

Hopkins County Commissioners Court, Fire Department Observe Fire Prevention Week
Residents Reminded To Change Batteries In Smoke Detectors, Have A Fire Escape Plan
Hopkins County Commissioners Court and Hopkins County Fire Department are joining agencies across the country in observing Oct. 9-15, 2022, as Fire Prevention Week, and encourage others to do the same.
Hopkins County Fire Marshal Andy Endsley said while October is Fire Prevention Month, Fire Prevention Week has been observed since the 1920s.
Hopkins County Judge Robert Newsom, reading a Fire Prevention Week proclamation during Commissioners Court Oct. 10, noted that Fire Prevention Week is the longest running public health and safety observation on record at the National Archives and Records Administration Library Information Center. President Woodrow Wilson issued the first National Fire Prevention Day declaration in 1920. Each United States President has signed a proclamation for the national observance annually every year since 1925.
Since 1922, Fire Prevention Week has been observed Sunday-Saturday of the week in which Oct. 9 falls, this coincides with the Great Chicago Fire, which began on Oct. 8, 1871, but most of its damage occurred on Oct. 9, 1871. The blaze killed more than 250 people, destroyed more than 17,400 structures across more than 2,000 acres, and left an estimated 100,000 homeless.
Fire Prevention Week, Newsom noted, is also observed “to save lives and protect property by keeping the public informed about the importance of fire prevention.” The 2022 Fire Prevention Week theme is “Fire won’t wait. Plan your escape.”
Endsley said essentially, it’s a time to remind everyone “the importance of having a home fire escape plan.” It’s also a good time to remind residents of the potentially life-saving value of having a fire extinguisher in the home, and the importance of checking functionality and changing batteries in smoke detectors (and, if in use, CO or carbon monoxide) regularly.
Smoke detectors have been proven to provide the necessary warning to save lives, but can only function properly if they are functioning properly. One easy way to remember to change and check smoke detector batteries at least twice a year, is to do so the day each fall and spring of local time change between Standard and Day Light Savings Times.
Newsom presented a framed copy of the proclamation to Hopkins County firefighters to display at HCFD Station 20.
Many fire departments, both paid and volunteer, designate time during the Fire Prevention Week and Fire Prevention (Safety) Month to host or visit children and groups at schools and where they otherwise meet, to provide fire safety education lessons and reminders. This helps younger children become familiar with the sounds and attire firefighters use, so they won’t be as afraid if firefighters are called upon to respond at their location to offer assistance, and to help prepare kids to take appropriate action if a fire occurs in their home, school or other location.
Wildcat Football Wins Third Straight, Opens District Play 1-0
Another dominant first half for Sulphur Springs paved the way to a 37-7 win in their district opener.
Including Friday, Oct. 7’s win, Wildcat football has scored 21+ points in each of their last three games; all victories for Coach Brandon Faircloth’s team.
Friday’s victory at Gerald Prim Stadium comes over a Braves team that has rushed for 1500 yards in six games this season. Instead, Sulphur Springs flipped the script — consistently moving the ball downfield thanks to great play calling that constantly mixed it up against Community, chewing up clock and scoring all along the way.
The Wildcats rushed for 230 yards as a team, a season high. QB Brady Driver and and WR CJ Williams combined for 213 of those yards.
Wide receivers Williams and Skylar Lewis both caught touchdowns from Driver in the first half, blowing the game open for Sulphur Springs. The former’s receiving TD came with just four seconds on the clock as the Wildcats headed into the locker room leading 21-0.
Once again the defense has been the unsung hero of these games. In the two weeks leading up to the game, the Braves scored 40+ points as they pounded their way to crushing victories.
The Wildcat defense had other plans, as they forced two turnovers on downs and won the turnover battle in Friday’s home win — Drew Hodges recovered a Braves fumble in the third and Riley Hammons picked off the Community quarterback in the final minute to ice the 37-7 victory.
The 21-0 half-time lead would not have been possible in Friday’s victory were it not for Coach Bret Page’s defense, as their two defensive stops set up the Wildcat offense to score three times in the first half.
The 37-7 victory in the district opener brings football’s season record to 5-1 (1-0), and is the third straight victory for Coach Faircloth’s team.
Next, Sulphur Springs hits the road for their second-to-last road game of the regular season as they take on Mabank.
That game kicks off at Panther Stadium Friday, Oct. 14 at 7:30 P.M.
KSST is proud to be the official Wildcat and Lady Cat Station. We broadcast Sulphur Springs ISD games year round live on radio. When allowed, we also broadcast games via our YouTube channel.
Yellow Jackets Are More Aggressive This Time Of Year
By David Wall, Mount Pleasant Master Gardener
I don’t know about you, but for my money, a yellow jacket (YJ) sting hurts more than any other wasp or bee. Worse, they often sting in force. Regrettably, I have often stuck my hand in a cucumber plant cage and got hit 4-5 times before I could get my hand back out. Honeybees and bumblebees are usually only defensively aggressive, but at this time of year, YJs are extremely aggressive and are more than willing to give chase.
When a yellow jacket (YJ) stings, the official guidance is to never, swat, slap, or run away. This is advice that I have NEVER been able to follow! Doing these things can supposedly increase the attack force. Maybe so, but I’ve never stuck around long enough to find out!
We’ve all seen YJ nests under house eaves, but most nests are underground, usually at the base of a tree. Before entering USAF, I had a crew of Idabel, Oklahoma high school and college workers injecting no-value hardwoods to allow pines to grow. One student (only one) invariably was injecting a tree with a YJ nest at its base. He got stung several times with every time being in the navel! OUCH!
Wasps, including YJs, are excellent predators of insect pests, and this saves farmers (and gardeners) a lot of money. They are also valuable pollinators for several garden plants. Being so valuable, when I approach an okra, tomato, pepper or other vegetable plant, I don’t mind waiting for the YJ to finish its business and move on to another plant!
As fall starts, an abundance of prey insects and overripe fruit lessen, and YJs move to other areas searching for replacements, particularly at picnics, barbeques, and trash cans. Then, when winter hits all die except newly mated queens who burrow and hibernate.
