Press release

A Friday pre-dawn raid in Tool by a team of Henderson County Sheriff Botie Hillhouse’s men ended with a man behind bars, charged with a Third Degree Felony for possession of methamphetamines.

Clint Gordon Hamilton, 37 of Tool was arrested at a residence in the 600 block of East Will White Road in that town around 4 a.m.

He was in possession of suspected meth and the paraphernalia commonly used to smoke or inject the drug.

Narcotics Investigators Kenneth Slaton and Wayne Nutt executed the search warrant which was signed by 392nd District Judge Scott McKee.

The two lead Investigators were aided by Investigators Gabriel Sue and Dustin Smith, and by Deputy Matthew Jistel.

Members of the Tool Police Department also assisted with the raid.

“We are going after drug users and dealers in every nook and cranny across our County,” Hillhouse said.

“No town is too tiny, no amount of contraband is too small, no hour of the day or night will keep us from our duty to rid Henderson County of illegal drugs,” he said.
