Jason Bridges Pct 4
The Nacogdoches County Constable Office Precinct 4 is reporting that crime statistics for burglaries and thefts are down in the rural areas of precinct 4. Constable Bridges stated that since 2010 we have seen a decrease in these crimes, and this year we have seen a large decrease in those crimes since 2009.
Constable Bridges stated that his office investigated 87 burglaries and thefts in the rural parts of precinct 4 in 2009. In 2010 that number dropped to 63 cases which show a decrease of 24 percent. In 2011 the Constable Office has investigated 47 burglaries and thefts which have shown a decrease of 46 percent in crime since 2009.
Constable Bridges attributes the crime decrease to the proactive ness of the constable office. I certainly feel that our approach to the methamphetamine problem in precinct 4 is showing positive results. Bridges stated that the constable office has served over 50 search warrants since 2009 and most of those have been for methamphetamine. Since 2009 the constable office has filed over 200 felony arrest with the district attorney office.
A lot of those cases of have resulted in prison terms, while many of those people have also left the county or been placed on probation. Bridges stated that we know most crimes that are committed are drug related. This contributes to a large majority of our burglaries and thefts that we have in the County.
Constable Bridges also believes that the large percentage of crimes that his office has cleared has also paid a significant role in the decrease. Bridges stated that our office was able to clear three major thefts rings that occurred in precinct 4 area this year that has resulted in over 15 local arrests.
Bridges stated the calls for his office has increased slightly and attributes that to the ailing economy. The constable Office has responded to over 1500 calls for service this year alone. We are dealing with more civil matters than we have in the past as well as other minor crimes. Bridges stated that even though the calls for service have increased, we are very pleased to see that the burglaries and thefts for our precinct are down and are down significantly.
Bridges said that all citizens should more careful during the holiday seasons as crime has tendency to increase during the month of December. We always see an increase in robberies and burglaries this time of year. We ask our citizens to be more cautious about there surroundings and to always take preventive steps against crime.
Good job Jason. Keep cleaning these thugs and trash up. We look forward to seeing you sworn in as Sheriff.
Bridges and Kerss should investigate Michael Stevenson and Catherine Pickens at 16052 S FM 225 in Douglass. He cooked meth with his sister, recently busted Karen Stevenson Waters of 907 Townsend. CPS should be involved too, as there are children exposed to drugs and deviant sex acts. His (their) favorite connection is another meth dealer named Tasha
I wish you had your name on here. I don’t think you understand what you did when you told lies about these people. If you don’t know what was going on in this house you need to keep your mouth shut. You just separated a family that was has happy, it was very unnecessary putting an innecent woman’s name out like that. So please before you try and point fingers at people, PLEASE make sure your hands are clean! Thank you.
Thank you for your service. It is greatly appreciated!!!!!
