Sheriff's Department Sex Offender Report Released

On Friday, October 18, 2013, the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office hosted a county wide compliance check initiative targeted at those individuals required to register as sex offenders in Shelby County.  A registered sex offender must keep the government up to date with certain details such as the locations of their residence and employment as well as contact information.  The purpose of the compliance checks were to determine if those persons living within Shelby County that are required to registered as sex offenders were reporting these details as required by law.  Not meeting one’s registration requirements is a Felony Offence.

Eleven follow up investigations will be made over the next several days to verify those persons who were not at home on Friday when the checks were conducted.

 

Eleven sex offenders were found to be out of compliance, thus far, and will have criminal charges pressed against them for their violations of state law.

 

The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office would like to acknowledge and thank the following agencies who took part in the compliance checks:

 

The Texas Department of Public Safety, United States Marshall’s Service, Center Police Department, Timpson Police Department, Tenaha City Marshall’s Office, Shelby County Adult Probation, and the Constables of Precincts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Four Men Arrested Following Burglaries

Four local men have been arrested in connection with several  recent burglaries in the Fox Street area.  Police Officer Joey Haley says 17-year-old Johnathan De La Cruz was determined to be a suspect in connection with the events.  Haley says it was determined that De La Cruz possibly had a stolen firearm in his possession.  “On Monday October 14 I was able to locate Delacruz and conduct a traffic stop on him as he was leaving his home on Hwy. 7 East.  Delacruz was in possession of a Taurus .38 special with the serial numbers filed off. Delacruz was also in possession of property that was missing from the burglaries. I was able to secure a search warrant for Delacruz’s residence at 3860 Hwy. 7 east in Center, where he resides with several other individuals,” Haley said.
It was 10:40 that evening when Haley executed the search warrant with the help of PD officers, the Shelby  County Sheriff’s department, and the DA’s office.  Haley says law enforcement found an unspecified amount of individually packaged marijuana and possible stolen property.  Arrested was 38-year-old David Herrerra,  23-year-old Pedro Herrerra, and 54-year-old Hipolito Nava.  Haley says the investigation is continuing and other charges are possible.
“When this investigation began to develop, the Sheriff’s Department and D.A.’s office did not hesitate to send the manpower to assist me in this investigation. I would like to give a heartfelt Thank you to Sheriff Willis Blackwell and his men, and D.A. Ken Florence and his investigator for their sincere eagerness in interdepartmental cooperation”,Haley said.

The following are written biographies provided by VFW Post 8904 shortly after the ceremony.  They were read at the ceremony.

 

US Army Staff Sergeant Kevin C. Roberts

 

Kevin "Casy" Roberts , 25, of Farmington, New Mexico was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), Fort Campbell, KY.  He died May 7, 2008 in Afghanistan, of wounds sustained when his vehicle encountered an improvised explosive device.

 

While on leave from his first tour of duty in the Middle East, Army Staff Sgt. Kevin Casey Roberts told those at home about building a playground at an Iraqi orphanage and receiving a warm welcome from several Iraqi citizens.

 

After his first tour, Roberts-who went by his middle name Casey-returned home for a year before being deployed to Iraq for another tour.   In March, the former volunteer firefighter was deployed to Afghanistan.

 

Casey was not from Shelby County but married a local girl, Donnice.  He fell in love with Shelby County and told his wife if anything happened to him he wanted to be buried here.  He is buried at the Hamilton Cemetery.

 

He left two children, son, Keeghan and daughter Caehlen.

 

US Army Specialist Cory J. Bertrand

 

Cory J. Bertrand's teenage years were spent playing in the front yard of a white frame house owned by his step grandparents.

 

His grandfather, Johnny Allen recalls the quality time they spent together.  "We shot guns together, and we walked the place here together.  I do some mechanic work, and he enjoyed being with me while I was doing that."

 

Bertrand, 18, of Center, Texas, died October 14th, 2008 in Afghanistan, when his vehicle struck an IED.  He was assigned to Fort Hood, Texas.

 

"He felt like he was doing his job to protect not only his family, but his country, and he saw a purpose for his life," said his grandmother, Lillian Allen.

 

The country boy decided  to join the army at age 17.  His young age required his mother, Charlotte Allen, to sign the enlistment papers.  She agreed so her son could have the future he wanted.

 

"His face seemed to have that look of being "I'm serious about what I'm Doing," and I really know he had come to realize that his purpose in life was fulfilled in being in the military," said Pastor Charles Boster.

 

Bertrand also is survived by his stepfather, Matt Allen, and Father Ernie Nelams.

OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM MARKS 12 YEARS

Twelve years ago America launched its counterattack against terrorism, hammering terrorist targets in Afghanistan and ushering in Operation Enduring Freedom and the global war on terror.

To remember the service and sacrifice of Afghanistan Veterans a remembrance program will be held at the Veterans Memorial on the Center Square, Wednesday, October 9, 2013 at 11:00 am.  As always the public is cordially invited.  Afghanistan veterans and their families are invited to lunch afterwards at Las Margaritas.
