On April 3rd, Howe Police Department Officer Clark arrested a 19-year-old Van Alstyne man for DWI from the parking lot of a gas station (Haning & Hwy 75). The stop was a result of a report of a reckless driver on US Hwy 75. The suspect failed a sobriety test and refused a request for a blood sample. Officer Clark obtained a search warrant and transported the suspect to a local hospital where the blood sample was obtained. The suspect became uncooperative and refused to get back in the patrol car for his trip to the county jail. After being forced into the patrol car and transported to jail, the suspect had the additional charge of Resisting Transport added to his booking paperwork.
On April 3rd at approximately 12:27pm, HPD Officer David Morris and Sgt. Mike Hill arrested a 26-year-old Dallas woman for possessing less than a gram of heroin. The arrest was a result of a traffic stop on US Hwy 75 in response to a report of a reckless driver. Upon stopping the driver, Officer Morris noticed she was overly nervous. A consent to search request was denied, so officers called for a canine handler from another agency. Before the canine handler arrived, the suspect told the officers she had heroin in the car. A search of the car revealed approx one gram of heroin. The suspect was booked into the Grayson County Jail.
