TPD explains felony arrest stop

Tioga Police Chief Curtis Macomb took the chance to set the record straight about a felony arrest on March 2 in town that got people talking on social media.

The arrest, Macomb said, included officers drawing their weapons as a part of protocol.

“[Collinsville’s] Flock camera notified McKinney PD, who notified Grayson County, who notified us that an armed bank robber was coming down 377, had just crossed the bridge and was coming into our town,” he said. “And [Officer] Jared [Reams] was on 377, and … he initiated a felony traffic stop, which means your gun is drawn.”
