By Kenny Mitchell Publisher Thanks to information provided in an Amber Alert and the quick thinking of a Hooks police officer, a young lady from Brownwood, Texas has been reunited with her family.
In the early afternoon hours of Wednesday, July 9, a statewide Amber Alert was issued for a female teenager from Brownwood, Texas. The Amber Alert gave the description of the alleged suspect, the teen girl, and the vehicle that the two were alleged to be in.
Less than two hours after the alert was broadcast statewide, Hooks Police Department Officer Zachary Baker located the vehicle traveling eastbound on Interstate 30 and conducted a traffic stop near Mile Marker 209 in Hooks at which point the suspect was taken into custody and the teen girl was rescued.
