Mike Hill and Officers David Morris and Brandon Ozuna arrested a 41-year-old Howe resident on outstanding warrants for Child Pornography, Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child, and Indecency with a Child.

May 19– HPD Officer Robert Todd arrested a 51-year-old Denison woman on outstanding warrants for Felony Bail Jumping, Failure to Appear, Motion to Revoke (Poss CS PG 2 > 1), Failure to Appear (Man/Del CS PG 1 > 1g) and 2 Capias warrants. The arrest was the result of a traffic stop on NB US Hwy 75 in which the Denison woman was a passenger. The woman initially lied about her identity. She had additional charges added for Failure to Identify and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. And yes, the stop was on Hwy 75. And for the few who believe our officers shouldn’t work the highway, our officers’ efforts there have resulted in the identification of bank robbers, the recovery of stolen vehicles, the arrests of countless wanted individuals, the arrests of numerous drunk drivers, and the seizure of large amounts of drugs (some even headed to Howe). They say they will continue working the highway.
