Bigamist Arrested on Outstanding Warrants

 

SAN ANGELO, TX - Over the weekend through yesterday, local law enforcement arrested and booked 93 people into the Tom Green County Jail, including 40-year-old Coty Lynn Veach, also known as Coty Shott Jackson. 

At 4:57 p.m., Tom Green County Sheriff's deputies booked Veach into the Tom Green County Jail for Bigamy, a third degree felony, and Assault Causes Bodily Injury warrants. This is Veach's fourth arrest in Tom Green County, and her bonds total $17,000.
