Drugs and Assault Rank High on Wednesday

Low down, dirty scoundrels were out on the loose in San Angelo Wednesday, as Police calls and arrests circulated around Manufacture/Delivery of a Controlled Substance and various assault charges.

The SAPD Daily Incident report lists 41 calls, seven of which were for some sort of assault or abuse, including family violence strangulation/suffocation, sexual assault and possible child abuse among them. Likewise, three arrests were made on assault charges Wednesday, and one sex offender who had not registered was booked for various charges.

Also high on Wednesday were charges pertaining to the manufacture and delivery of drugs. Four of 31 different perpetrators were arrested on these charges, the most we’ve seen all week on a single day. Possession of drug paraphernalia and marijuana accounted for four arrests total, and two DWI arrests were made.

The Tom Green County Jail Inmate Bookings Report shows a lot of inmates with a multiple charges, but 28-year-old Brandon Michael Richardson tops our list. Richardson was arrested by the SAPD yesterday on four Commitment charges, Possession of a Firearm by a Felon, Sex Offender’s Duty to Register (for the second time this year), and Manufacture/Delivery of a Controlled Substance greater than or equal to 200 grams < 400 grams.

There were no additional criminal or jail records (in Tom Green County) on Richardson.

As can be expected, burglary and theft once again tipped the scales of calls and bookings Wednesday, with 10 burglary/theft calls resulting in four arrests. One of these calls was for burglary of a vehicle – vehicle parts only, so be sure you’re keeping tabs on your windshield wipers and gas caps. Those things are in high demand.
