Weatherall back in Jail for Parole Violation
February 17, 2023 – Conchetta Janell Weatherall is back in Hopkins County Jail after her arrest on Wednesday. Weatherall was arrested for violating her parole. She was indicted on the original theft charge in January of 2022. That incident occurred at Wal-Mart.
Weatherall was arrested on a charge of theft of property less than $2,500 with two previous convictions, a state jail felony. Sulphur Springs officers made contact with Weatherall at the Sulphur Springs Walmart where loss prevention advised that Weatherall had taken some items without paying. The surveillance video was reviewed and reportedly showed that Weatherall had not scanned items but placed them in shopping bags. There was a total of ten items that were not paid for with the amount totaling over $100. It was determined that Weatherall allegedly knowingly took the items with no intent to pay. Weatherall reportedly showed to have two prior theft convictions and was arrested and transported to the Hopkins County Jail.
Weatherall was also arrested in 2015. She was convicted of Forging a Financial Instrument and sentenced to 300 days in Woodman State Jail.

The tennis coach said he was proud with how his girls’ double team of Mykylie Meador and Trynity Luckett who made it three rounds before running into Texas High and losing to their former district foe.

Oscar Guerrero marked another second place finish for Sulphur Springs, doing so in the B bracket of boy’s singles.
“There are still good results for participating in a good tournament,” Coach Martinez said, “we didn’t get started for a couple of hours because of the rain… plus it was a little cool. But we were still able to play and get back at a decent hour that night.”
Following a solid showing in Corsicana last week, Sulphur Springs tennis heads to Tyler on Friday for another tourney.
The team will not be at full-strength for their Friday tournament, as several students will be out Friday, Feb. 17 with academic UIL obligations.
