MULTI-AGENCY EFFORT TAKES DOWN OVER 400 KILOGRAMS OF METHAMPHETAMINE

Sheriff Brian Hawthorne reports that on October 24, 2025, the Chambers County Sheriff’s Office, in a joint investigation with the DEA Galveston Resident Office, Galveston County Sheriff’s Office, Galveston Police Department, Texas Department of Public Safety, Houston Police Department, and Homeland Security Investigations, seized over 400 kilograms of methamphetamine at a residence in Houston.

Sheriff Hawthorne stated, “This is a huge victory against the Mexican Drug Cartels and their local minions in our efforts to eliminate dangerous drug trafficking in our communities and an excellent collaboration between agencies. Let this be an example to all those attempting to traffic drugs in our area that law enforcement takes this threat seriously and will work together to take it down.”

🤨Hays County Historic Courthouse Access for Sale? 🤔

A recent Hays County Commissioners Court agenda item is stirring up a lot of noise online 👀

📌 Agenda Item #12: Discussion and possible action regarding the removal of unauthorized publications, newsstands, and/or other solicitations or advertisements from the Hays County Historic Courthouse and any other County facilities.

Some advocate media outlets quickly jumped onto social media, blasting Commissioner Walt Smith for what they claim is an attempt to silence them. But… 🤔

🔎 Here’s what we’ve already uncovered:

We previously reported on questionable use of the Hays County Historic Courthouse linked to Judge Ruben Becerra’s family — specifically tied to a car show business associated with them:
➡️ https://thehawkseyecn.net/news/the-field-review-local/hays-county-car-show-classic-rides-becerra-family/

Now, one of the loudest voices publicly upset about Commissioner Smith’s agenda is the same media outlet that leases their business office from the Becerra family:
➡️ https://thehawkseyecn.net/news/the-lone-star-review-state/hays-county-judge-leases-to-activist-news/

👀 Coincidence? Or a concerning network of influence inside county facilities?

On top of that… Judge Becerra is already facing a State Commission on Judicial Conduct complaint, AND there are accusations of withheld or delayed public records related to this very issue 📝🛑

So here’s what we want to know from YOU, Hays County ⬇️

❓ Should privately owned or politically connected publications be allowed to operate or advertise inside taxpayer-funded public buildings?

📣 Have YOU seen favoritism in how courthouse spaces are used?

🚨 Webb County Sheriff’s Employee Arrested in Child Abuse Case 🚨

A longtime employee of the Webb County Sheriff’s Office has been arrested and charged after a victim bravely stepped forward to report years of sexual abuse that began when she was a child 😡🛑

According to a detailed press release from officials, Jaime Manuel Gomez — assigned to the Sheriff’s Office Boxing Gym 🥊 — was placed on administrative leave as soon as the allegations came to light. The Boxing Gym has been immediately closed during the investigation 🚫

During interviews with detectives, the Sheriff’s Office reports Gomez provided a felony confession to elements of the crime before he was taken into custody 🚔

He now faces Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Young Child, a First-Degree Felony that carries a possible 5 to 99 years in state prison ⚖️

📌 What Investigators Have Confirmed So Far:
✅ Alleged abuse originated in 2014
✅ Offenses are believed to have continued for years
✅ Grooming and abuse reportedly began at the Boxing Gym
✅ Majority of incidents occurred at various places across Laredo 🌆
✅ Gomez has worked 18 years for the Sheriff’s Office under previous leadership
✅ He was always under supervision of sworn staff while working with youth programs

The Sheriff’s Office says the victim trusted the agency enough to report despite Gomez being a current employee — a decision they describe as brave and critical to stopping further harm 🙏❤️

Sheriff Martín Cuéllar delivered a firm warning:

“Anyone with information or who may have been a victim must come forward immediately and not wait. Delays make it harder to bring justice.”

He also said he is extremely upset, angry, and deeply disappointed that someone trusted with community programs may have abused that trust:

“We will not tolerate predators who prey on our children. Justice will be served.”

🚨 Substitute Teacher Arrested at Laredo Middle School 🚨

A substitute teacher with United ISD was taken into custody at United Middle School after police say she was involved in a burglary earlier that afternoon. 🏠💥

Officers were called to a home near Denmark Ln. on October 23 for a break-in report. The caller — who identified the suspect as his ex-girlfriend and a substitute teacher — drove to the school to find her. 📞🚗

Police met him there and located 22-year-old Mia Sophia Espinoza in the parking lot. She allowed officers to search her vehicle for stolen items — but instead, they found ma*****na hidden in the glove box inside a glass jar and Ziploc bag. 🌿👮‍♂️

While the male chose not to press burglary charges, Espinoza was arrested for possession of ma*****na. ⚖️

🚨 UTA Professor Arrested on Child Exploitation Charges 🚨

A University of Texas at Arlington senior mathematics lecturer has been arrested after detectives say they traced child sexual abuse material downloads straight to his Hurst home. 📍💻

According to court records, 49-year-old Paul William Leafgreen is accused of possessing hundreds of images and videos depicting minors as young as 5 years old. Investigators say the case began in April on a peer-to-peer network known for child exploitation. Police executed a search warrant in August, seizing multiple devices — including his personal laptop.

Leafgreen has since been placed on administrative leave by UTA. He bonded out of Tarrant County Jail earlier this month and is set to appear in court April 10, 2026. ⚖️

🚨 Former Hondo ISD Teacher Arrested on Campus Misconduct Allegations 🚨

The Hondo Police Department says a former Hondo High School teacher has been arrested following a criminal investigation into alleged misconduct involving a student on campus.

According to the department, detectives quickly gathered enough evidence to secure arrest warrants for Thomas William Ricker Hill, 24. He’s facing three second-degree felony charges:

• Indecency with a Child by Sexual Contact
• Sexual Performance by a Child
• Improper Relationship Between Educator and Student

Police say the victim is a juvenile and will not be identified. They also clarified that the “improper relationship” charge is tied only to Hill’s role as an educator — not to any actions by the student.

⛓️ Hill was taken into custody Thursday morning and booked into the Medina County Jail.
🏫 Hondo ISD removed him from employment before the school day ended on Wednesday.

Hondo PD says they remain committed to protecting students and fully investigating any allegations involving those entrusted with children’s safety.
