Deputy Chapa had been on patrol just a short time Monday afternoon when a black Chevrolet HHR passed him on US 59 northbound at a high rate of speed then quickly changed lanes without signaling and ended up on the vehicle in front of it less than a car length away. When he caught up to it he was unable to determine what state the license plate was out of due to the frame it was mounted in obstructing it. When he attempted to pull it over it moved to the right lane but continued northbound crossing FM 1485 and exiting at Roman Forest. The driver then pulled over on the left shoulder of the feeder.
The driver of the vehicle identified as 44-year-old Patricia Hickman of 401 West Union in Leesville, Louisiana. In the right passenger seat was 64-year-old William David Campbell of 1101 Spruce in Leesville, Louisiana. The rear passenger was identified as Delphanie Eloise Whipple, age 49. She had identification showing she lived in Dallas, Longview and Chesnee, South Carolina.
As Deputy Chapa questioned each one, they each had a different story on where they had been and where they were going. Further he questioned them about narcotics in the vehicle which they denied using. When he asked permission to search the vehicle the driver gave consent.
At this point Deputy Chapa waited for backup. Sgt. Warwick, Constable Hayden, Deputy Boudreaux and Deputy Rivera arrived to secure the three as the vehicle was searched. On the front floor board was a purse to which Ms. Hickman admitted ownership and allowed it to be searched. In it Deputy Chapa found a bottle of 120 Hydrocodone with a name other than hers on it. She was immediately placed in custody and stated there were more in the car.
As Deputies continued the search they found twenty-three more bottles containing just over 1700 pills. All had been filled by six different pharmacies around the Houston area on Monday and all had one of six doctors names on them.
When questioned further the three admitted to being from Louisiana and came to Texas with the intention of going to a pain management doctor because it was cheaper to get multiple prescriptions in Houston than buying them on the street for $5 each.
Each bottle had a price paid for each bottle. Some as high as $160 each for the Hydrocodone.
All three were then transported to the Montgomery County Jail in Conroe.
Included in the pills were:
810- Hydrocodone
210-Alprazolam (Xanax)
1-Bio Freeze
120-Ibuprofen 800Mg.
60-Ranitidine
30-Tab-A-Vite
1-Maxfreeze
30-Citalopram
360-Carisoprodol 350Mg.(Soma)
30-Docusate Sodium
30-Ibuprofen
30-Famotidine
30-Naproxen 500Mg.
