Press release
In his continuing campaign against illegal drugs, Henderson County Sheriff Botie Hillhouse and his deputies Tuesday evening raided a Tool home and arrested a man and a woman.
“Criminals will get the message,” Hillhouse said. “Under my watch, illegal drugs in any amount, no matter how great or small, will simply not be tolerated.
“I, and my team of dedicated deputies, work around the clock to get these folks off the street and in jail,” he said.
Billie Turnage and Robby Angeletta were both in possession of illegal drugs and arrested at the home on Aloha Drive in the Paradise Bay Subdivision in Tool.
Tuesday evening, Hillhouse, Lt. David Faught, Narcotics Investigator Brad Beddingfield, Investigators Brad Gray, Josh Rickman and Cayce Hampton executed the search warrant. Investigator Kay Langford and Beddingfield obtained information leading to the arrests.
Judge Dan Moore of the 173rd District Court issued the search warrant.
Turnage was charged with manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance, a second degree felony. She faces up to 20 years in prison and up to $10,000 fine if convicted.
Angeletta was charged with tampering with physical evidence, a third degree felony. He faces a prison sentence of 2-to-10 years and up to $10,000 fine if convicted.
“These raids won’t stop,” Hillhouse said. “I promised to make this county drug-unfriendly and that is what we are doing.”
On Monday, June 6, Hillhouse lead a team of his deputies on a late night drug raid arresting two suspects and confiscating suspected methamphetamines and drug paraphernalia.
“This is a process. Step by step, arrest by arrest, we are raiding homes, and cracking-down and rounding-up illegal drug users and dealers alike,” Hillhouse said.
