Family Violence, Guns, Criminal Trespass, Drugs and Alcohol Top Weekend Arrests

This was a busy weekend full of assaults and family violence, guns, drugs, alcohol and more. Local law enforcement made 59 arrests, and out of those arrests, here are the more noteworthy.

Officer Tracy Gonzalez, public information officer for the San Angelo Police Department, said on July 16 at 2:14 a.m., officers were dispatched to the 100 block of W. Avenue R for the report of an unwanted subject. They met with the complainant who said a subject, Adam Pounds, 27, was just at her residence banging on the windows and door. 

Gonzalez noted that Pounds had a prior Criminal Trespass Warning at the property, and during the call, and by coincidence, officers located Pounds driving on the wrong side of the road around S. Chadbourne and Avenue Q. They stopped his vehicle at south Chadbourne and Avenue L.

Officer Gonzalez said, “Officers made contact with Pounds, who appeared to be under the influence of an alcoholic beverage. During the DWI investigation, the officer learned Pounds was the suspect of the Unwanted Subject call on Avenue R. Sgt. Juarez with the Tom Green County Sheriff’s Office responded (acting as a STEP/DWI Unit) to conduct the DWI Investigation.” 

Gonzalez stated Pounds was arrested for DWI and issued citations for Fail to Maintain Financial Responsibility (unconfirmed insurance), Expired registration (11/2015), Driving While License Invalid and Driving on the Wrong Side of the Roadway.   

This is Pounds’ 32^nd arrest. Some of his crimes include assault, criminal mischief, burglary and forgery to name a few. His bond was set at $2,000.

Also on July 16 at 4:29 a.m., officers responded to the 1900 block of Rainey for the report of a domestic disturbance. Gonzalez said officers met with the victim and suspect (spouses). 

“After the investigation, James Marsh, [28], was arrested for Assault by Contact Family Violence,” said Gonzalez.

This is Marsh’s first arrest in Tom Green County. His bond was set at $492, with court costs at $246.

In another domestic disturbance on July 16 at 9:03 a.m., officers were dispatched to the unit block of W. 19^th for a domestic disturbance with only the victim, a 33-year-old man, present.  The victim advised he was assaulted by his mother, 59-year-old Lucia Estrada. 

“While investigating, [Estrada] arrived at the scene,” said Gonzalez. “[She] was arrested for Assault Causes Bodily Injury Family Violence.”

This arrest marked the second for Estrada, and her bond was set at $2,500. She was released on July 17.

At 7:44 p.m. on July 16, officers responded to a residence in the 800 block of Shiloh for the report of a domestic disturbance/assault that occurred. Officers met with a 34-year-old female who had visible injuries to her face.  

“Officers learned that the suspect, 32-year-old Damon Huckabee, left prior to their arrival and that he may have firearms with him,” said Gonzalez. 

She said during the investigation, the suspect was seen driving by the scene, twice.  An officer relayed the suspect’s vehicle description and direction of travel, and responding officers were able to conduct a traffic stop on Huckabee at Glenna and Woodlawn. 

“Officers located two handguns and a rifle inside the vehicle. Subsequent to the investigation, Huckabee was arrested for Assault Causes Bodily Injury Family Violence,” Gonzalez stated.

This is Huckabee’s 6^th arrest in Tom Green County, and previous crimes include assault and theft. His bond was set at $2,500.

Next on the list is 28-year-old Juan Gonzales. Officer Gonzalez said officers were dispatched to the 300 block of E. 24^th Street for a subject trying to gain entry to a residence. This also occurred on July 16 at 10:25 p.m.

“Further information came in that the subject had entered the residence through a window,” said Gonzalez. “Officers arrived and located the suspect inside a bedroom.”

At first, the man gave officers a fake name, but he was eventually identified as 28-year-old Juan Gonzales. 

“During the investigation, officers learned Gonzales’ 26-year-old girlfriend had gone to stay the night at the residence on E. 24^th to get away from [him] due to a verbal argument they had earlier in the day,” said Officer Gonzalez. “No assaults occurred inside the residence, but Gonzales was arrested for Criminal Trespass of a Habitation, Fail to Identify as a Fugitive from Justice, and his 11 outstanding Arrest Warrants (10 City, 1 County).”

At 11:35 p.m. on July 16, SAPD conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle at Spaulding and Buchanan. The driver, 45-year-old James Edward Pittman II, was found to have a suspended Driver’s License. 

“Pittman was arrested for Driving While License Invalid,” said Gonzalez. “Three female occupants were asked to exit the vehicle. K9 Vader stopped by the scene, conducted an exterior ‘sniff’ of the vehicle and alerted to the presence of narcotics.”

Gonzalez added that officers conducted a probable cause search of the vehicle. They located a black pouch containing a glass pipe and a clear plastic baggy with residue underneath the seat where a 29-year-old female passenger was seated. The passenger was identified as 29-year-old Samantha Karadimas.

Karadimas was arrested for Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Two other female passengers were released from the scene. 

This was Pittman’s third arrest and Karadimas’ fourth. Both were released on bonds of less than $1,000 on July 17.
