II. Online Solicitation of a Minor Arrest (1:15)

Sheriff Hillhouse talks about this week's arrest of James Bond, 50, for online solicitation of a child. The following is from the press release:

Investigators and Deputies arrested an armed man Tuesday for online solicitation of a child online after they were forced to breach his residence.

James Bond, 50, was arrested in the 100 block of Chapperall Drive and was also charged with Aggravated Assault Against a Public Servant.

Hillhouse’s team approached the home, announced their presence, and eventually breached the door of the residence to gain entry. Inside, they found Bond in the residence armed with a rifle. He pointed the loaded weapon at one of the Investigators but eventually surrendered.

It was Investigator Cayce Hampton who obtained a search warrant from 392nd District Judge Scott McKee to initiate the arrest.

IV. Instructor's Course (12:14)

Sheriff Hillhouse said there are deputies going through a course to become peace officer instructors. The benefit, according to the Sheriff, is convenience and low cost.

The Sheriff's Office does not charge county law enforcement agencies for this training.
