On December 18, 2023, at approximately 3:08 pm, Sergeant Geer of the Lone Oak Police Department conducted a routine traffic stop in response to a violation of the law. Upon making contact with the driver, Sgt Geer detected the unmistakable odor of marijuana emanating from inside the vehicle.
Subsequently, Sgt Geer requested both the driver and the passenger to step out of the vehicle. During a pat-down search of the driver, Sgt Geer observed the passenger attempting to conceal a black pouch in his pants. Sgt Geer managed to retrieve the pouch and discovered a white crystal-like substance, identified as methamphetamine commonly known on the streets.
As Sgt Geer was in the process of placing handcuffs on the passenger, the suspect made an escape on foot. Chief Sterner arrived on the scene, and a brief foot chase ensued, resulting in the successful arrest of the fleeing suspect.
The arrested individual now faces charges of Possession of a Controlled Substance PG1 >4g<200 and evading arrest. Subsequently, the suspect was booked into the Hunt County jail. The suspect has been identified as 36-year-old Christian Grant Morrow of Campbell. Campbell has a long history of arrests in Hunt County dealing drug possession and evading arrest.
The Lone Oak Police Department extends its gratitude to the Texas Game Warden and the Hunt County Sheriff's Department for their assistance in this operation. Lone Oak remains committed to maintaining the safety of its streets and protecting citizens from the dangers associated with illicit substances.
