On Thursday, January 10, 2019, at approximately 2 pm members of the Tom Green County Sheriff’s Criminal Investigation Division along with the Warrant Division initiated a traffic stop on a 2007 Chevy Envoy for a traffic violation at the intersection of Culwell and N.

Andrew Scott Perez was arrested and booked into the Tom Green County jail.  Perez is charged with Parole Violation and Manufacturing and Delivery of a Control Substance PG1>= 400G.
