They had a bunch of great questions and it was a pleasure being able to tell them about our criminal justice system, the relationship we have with our District Attorney's Office and the work that our men and women are doing at the Jasper County Sheriff's Office. We had a great day in Evadale at the annual Community Appreciation day fish fry last Thursday, put on by Mr. Glenn Conner. This event draws hundreds of people to the Evadale Fire Department from all over Southeast Texas. Mr. Conner not only donates his time to this event, but he selfishly provides the fish, frog legs and all the trimmings. He is one of the most beloved figures in our county and he can always be counted on to lend anybody a helping hand. It was good to see so many elected officials, law-enforcement officers, community leaders and many citizens. This is always one of my favorite days of the year. Big shout out to our Jail Administrator, Joe Pomponio, all of our Jasper County Jail trustees and the many volunteers who made this a wonderful day.Saturday night marked a great turnout for the Badge &amp; Boots Bash! Wayne Toups and The Bon Ami Band put on a great show, and we are so thankful to everyone who came out to support a great cause. Proceeds from the event will go toward helping families put presents under the tree for their children this Christmas, supporting scholarships for local students and benefiting the Kirbyville Police Department's Santa's Toybox program and Jasper County Sheriff's Association Blue Santa &amp; Scholarship. We'd like to thank Wayne Toups, The Bon Ami Band, everyone who attended, sponsors, volunteers, and the Jasper County Sheriff's Association Blue Santa &amp; Scholarship and Kirbyville Police Department's Santa's Toybox for helping make this event possible.Earlier this week, Sheriff Chuck Havard received this message from a Jasper County resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, recognizing Deputy Hunter Walker: "Sheriff, I wanted to take a moment to reach out and give some recognition where it's deserved. One of your deputies, H. Walker #615, pulled me over tonight for failing to signal a lane change, and I have to say, I was genuinely impressed with the way he handled the entire interaction. From beginning to end, he was extremely polite, courteous, professional, and just genuinely nice. He even cracked a joke roadside, asking me if I was going to come back wanted for murder or anything out of Ohio lol. I told him, "Geez, I'd hope not!" 😂 I explained to him that I had just recently obtained my Class A CDL and that even one moving violation could potentially cost me my job because of my company's insurance requirements. His response was something along the lines of, "I'm not here to ruin your life; I'm just here to enforce the laws." And honestly, I respect that tremendously. He was doing his job, and I completely understand that. Having a background in law enforcement myself, I understand the importance of professionalism, public interaction, and how much an officer's attitude and approach can influence someone's entire perception of a department. It's easy to recognize good officers when you encounter them, and Deputy Walker certainly deserves that recognition. Between the deputies I've encountered under your leadership and Colton's, it seems like you all have some genuinely top-notch people representing your department. I just wanted to take a minute to pass along some positive feedback because we hear plenty of complaints about law enforcement, but rarely do people take the time to recognize the ones who go above and beyond. Please pass along my appreciation to Deputy Walker. He's a great representation of your department. Keep up the excellent work, Sheriff, and thank you for having good people out there serving the community!" While we often receive these types of messages, they never cease to make us proud. We may be biased, but we truly believe we have the very best employees this state has to offer. We are entrusted by the public to uphold the laws, but more importantly, to treat everyone with professionalism and humanity. We sincerely appreciate this individual taking the time to recognize one of our employees. Deputy Hunter Walker has done an exceptional job, and we are proud of the example he sets each and every day.Last Thursday, Nathan Paul Woods, 63, of Buna, was found guilty of five counts of Sexual Assault of a Child and sentenced to a total of 137 years in prison. The charges stemmed from an investigation conducted by the Jasper County Sheriff's Office involving incidents that occurred in 2022 and 2023 in Buna, Texas, involving a juvenile victim. The Jasper County Sheriff's Office would like to thank District Attorney John Burt and Assistant District Attorney Daniel Boyd for their hard work in prosecuting this case. Mr. Burt's staff worked diligently and tirelessly on this case, and his office sent a clear message that any form of sexual violence will not be tolerated in Jasper County. We also want to recognize Lieutenant Jason McClelland for his investigative work and efforts that helped bring this case to trial. Lieutenant McClelland sacrificed countless hours on this case and is one of the finest investigators this state has to offer. We will not allow anyone being harmed in our community, especially our children. We will do everything possible to hold individuals like Woods accountable to the fullest extent of the law.On November 6, 2026, at approximately 5 a.m., Blake Moore, 23, came into the Jasper County Sheriff's Office to turn himself in on a felony warrant out of Jefferson County. Deputy Tykol arrived and booked him into Jasper County Jail without further incident. Moore had an outstanding warrant for Possession of a Controlled Substance (less than one gram) from Penalty Group 2, a State Jail Felony.On November 6, 2026, Jasper County Sheriff's Office Deputies responded to a residence on FM 2246 in Evadale regarding a welfare check. During the investigation, deputies determined that both parents appeared to be highly intoxicated and unable to properly care for their two children, ages 6 and 9. Deputies had also discovered multiple unsecured firearms within reach of the children. The mother was transported to the hospital, and warrants are pending. Joshua Lenard, 35, of Evadale, was arrested for two counts of Endangering a Child, a State Jail Felony. On November 6, 2026, Sergeant Nick responded to an assault that occurred off Private Road 5210 in Buna. During the investigation, Sergeant Nick learned that Jeremy Odom, 42, of Buna, had allegedly choked his wife following an argument, which she had visible red marks around her neck. Prior to the deputy's arrival, Odom left the residence but was later located and detained by the Silsbee Police Department. Odom was transported to the Jasper County line, where Sergeant Nick assumed custody of him and transported him to the Jasper County Jail without incident. Odom was charged with Assault Family Violence – Impeding Breath or Circulation (Strangulation), a Third-Degree Felony.On November 8, 2026, at approximately 10:08 a.m., I was contacted by Jasper attorney Billy Morian III regarding the surrender of 21-year-old Cheadrick Porter, who was wanted in connection with a shooting on November 7, 2026, in Beaumont that left a 17-year-old male dead and a 19-year-old female injured. Following those discussions, I arrived at the agreed-upon meeting location at approximately 11:50 a.m., where I took Porter into custody without incident. Porter was wanted on outstanding warrants out of Beaumont for Murder and Aggravated Assault. The warrants stem from an investigation conducted by the Beaumont Police Department. Porter is currently being held in the Jasper County Jail pending arraignment and extradition back to Beaumont. We would like to thank the Beaumont Police Department for their cooperation. Interagency cooperation is an important part of effective law enforcement, and working together across jurisdictional lines helps ensure individuals wanted for serious crimes are safely brought into custody. We would also like to thank Mr. Morian for his cooperation in this matter and for helping bring Porter into custody.Everyone listed in this report is innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.Thank you all for supporting our employees of JCSO. Our men and women are working hard and doing their best serving the citizens of Jasper County. Currently, we have 136 inmates in our custody. It is a privilege representing the people of Jasper County. If you need us, call us.Respectfully,Chuck HavardJasper County Sheriff</div></body>
