Police answering a trespassing call ended up arresting a man wanted on child support warrants, and in possession of drugs.
Corsicana Police Officers Angela Reed and Bruce Culpepper responded to the Lago De Plata Apartments at 9:30 a.m. Monday to issue a criminal trespass to a subject. Upon their arrival they discovered, Demmond Marquis Williams, 29, of Corsicana, had a capias warrant issued for his arrest regarding child support out of Limestone County. After Williams was arrested for the warrant, Culpepper discovered a small amount of cocaine on Williams.
Reed and Detective Roderick Tyner then continued to investigate further and searched a nearby apartment, discovering a small amount of Ecstasy pills, a small amount of crack cocaine, and approximately 11 ounces of marijuana hidden in a bedroom. A total of $3,220 in cash was also discovered hidden in the apartment and on Williams. The currency and narcotics were seized for prosecution and the currency for later forfeiture consideration to the police department. Williams was transported to the Navarro County Jail, where was booked on charges of possession of Marijuana over four ounces but under five pounds, possession of a controlled substance under one gram, manufacturing and delivery of a controlled substance over one gram and under four grams, and a Limestone County Sheriff’s Office warrant for child support.
Officers credit the management of the Lago De Plata Apartments for their efforts to reduce crime and improve the safety of their residents by calling police when suspicious circumstances exist.
Anyone with information regarding illegal narcotics is encouraged to call Cpl. Trent Parker at (903) 654-4916. Callers may remain anonymous.
