Jason Bridges Pct 4
Two deputies were almost struck head on traveling north bound on highway 59 near the weigh strip when they meet a vehicle traveling in the wrong lane of traffic at 5:30 in the morning. Deputy Jimmy Marble with the Constable Office Precinct 4 and Deputy Ben Curtis with the Sheriff Office were both north bound on highway 59 when they a meet a gold Saturn car traveling south bound in the north bound lane at a speed of 98 mph. Deputy Constable Marble attempted to stop the vehicle traveling in the wrong lane of traffic.
Constable Bridges stated that both Deputies had to take evasive action to keep from being struck head on by the vehicle. At the time, Deputy Curtis was also transporting an inmate to the Nacogdoches County Jail. Deputy Marble gave chase to the vehicle but the vehicle refused to stop and accelerated on highway 59 and continued traveling in the wrong lane of traffic. A pursuit of the vehicle began and speeds reached over 110 mph.
Samuel Thompson
Constable Bridges stated that the vehicle almost struck several other vehicles while continuing to travel in the wrong lane of traffic. The pursuit continued into Angelina county where Deputy Marble was able to get the vehicle stopped. The Driver of the vehicle was identified as Samuel Thompson 21 years of age from Colmesneil, Texas.
The driver was so impaired that he did not know where he was at or where he had been coming from. Bridges praised the efforts of Deputy Marble for being able to get the vehicle stopped and warning other motorist on the roadway of the vehicle traveling in the wrong lane of traffic. Bridges stated that this could have ended very badly if Deputies would not have spotted this vehicle.
Samuel Thompson was arrested for Evading Arrest in a motor vehicle along with Driving While Intoxicated. Thompson submitted to giving a specimen of his breath. Both results were .197 which is twice over the legal limit.
James Self
Another pursuit occurred around 8:00 pm on 12-31-2010 when Deputy Allen, Constable Office Precinct 4 stopped a black truck on highway 59 south. The driver of the vehicle had an outstanding warrant for his arrest. When Deputy Allen attempted to get the driver out of the pickup truck, the driver told the deputy he was not going to jail and speed off onto Cr. 620. Deputy Allen chased the vehicle to a residence on Cr. 620 where James Self wrecked out in his front yard. Self ran into his house, but was apprehended a short time later by officers.
Self was arrested and charged with Evading arrest in a motor vehicle, resisting arrest and an outstanding traffic warrant.
Constable Bridges advised that his office made 8 arrests on new years night and 5 of them were alcohol related.
You jerks who want to spread rumors about Ben Curtis…
If he made mistakes, it’s not your job to spread these rumors and cause harm to him and his family. You are not the Judge Jury and executioner. He who is without any sin can toss the first stone but always remember that your house has glass as well.
Ben’s not perfect…. I know… I worked with him but not at the Sherrifs Dept. lol… Luv ya Ben but I’m not either.
May God Bless us all to have a great 2016 and hopefully these types of harmful/hateful posts will not be propagated or permitted any longer.
You must be really concerned with these “rumors” and “hateful posts” to bump a thread that is over a year old!
Ben Curtis did what with whom????? Tell me more.
Ben Curtis had a long term affair with Becky Sepulvado
And at times some adult things would happen in his patrol car at that time was car # 74 He talks about drunk driving but driving down Hwy 204 kissing and rubbing on each other’s privite body parts as he drove I would think that would be just as dangerous if not more than driving drunk they continued this until they got to Ben’s house and they went in and finished the adult things that they started in the car. Both Ben and Becky was on duty as they was supposed to be working at the Xpoe Center do to the storm coming in from the coast. At other times some of these adult things went on in his patrol car
Ben Curtis was a on duty deputy when most of this took place.
Becky Sepulvado worked at the animal shelter .
Yeah No one ever talks about the affiar with Ben curtis and Becky Sepulvado as he was on duty as most of this affiar took place. In his patrol car # 74 Now is that Outstanding Work?
