Sulphur Springs Man Arrested for DWI With Open Container

SULPHUR SPRINGS, TX – A 29-year-old Sulphur Springs man was arrested Sunday night after officers say he was driving while intoxicated and failed to maintain a single lane, leading to a traffic stop and DWI charge.

According to an arrest affidavit, Jaime Cisneros, 29, was taken into custody on November 30, 2025, following a traffic stop in the 600 block of Finney Street in Sulphur Springs.

Officers with the Sulphur Springs Police Department were first dispatched to a report of a possible intoxicated driver who was reportedly failing to maintain a single lane and had struck a curb. A responding officer soon located a Cadillac Escalade matching the description and initiated a traffic stop around 8:12 p.m.

When officers contacted Cisneros, they reported a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from his breath. The affidavit states Cisneros had glossy eyes, trouble keeping his balance, and admitted that he had been drinking earlier.

Officers conducted Standardized Field Sobriety Tests and, based on his performance, determined Cisneros had lost the normal use of his mental and physical faculties due to alcohol. He was placed under arrest for Driving While Intoxicated with Open Container (Misdemeanor B) and read his DIC-24 statutory warning.

Cisneros consented to a blood draw, and officers transported him to Christus Mother Frances Hospital where a blood specimen was collected. He was then transported to the Hopkins County Jail for booking. The vehicle was released to a family member at the scene. No injuries were reported.

All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Stolen SUV and M**h Arrest on I-30 Near Cumby – Hopkins County

According to an affidavit for probable cause, Hopkins County Dispatch advised officers on November 20, 2025, that a black Mazda SUV bearing Texas license plate VDS-31** had been spotted while traveling eastbound on Interstate 30 near mile marker 104. The vehicle was confirmed as stolen out of the Dallas–Fort Worth area.

A Cumby Police Department officer located the Mazda traveling on the south service road of I-30 and caught up to it near mile marker 110. Lieutenant Gilbert arrived on scene to assist. The driver was identified as Hope Desiree Cooley, and a passenger was also in the vehicle. Both occupants were removed from the SUV and placed in double-locked handcuffs while the investigation continued.

The listed arresting officer is Officer D. Hathcock, Cumby Police Department.
