Last night at approximately 10:17pm, the Crosby County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call advising that two people had been struck by a vehicle at an unknown location near Lorenzo Texas. EMS and Law Enforcement were dispatched and searched for the scene which was located on CR 105 just south of CR 118 in the far northwest part of Crosby County. Upon the arrival of first responders it was discovered that four individuals had been involved. Two females were found to be deceased, the driver of the vehicle was transported to an area hospital for injuries believed to have been sustained after the collision, and a second male who was not injured. Texas DPS responded and assumed the investigation assisted by Texas Rangers and CCSO Deputies. As this is an active Texas DPS investigation the Crosby County Sheriff’s Office will not have any additional information to share at this time. We ask for the public’s prayers for the families and friends of the two victims.

Early this morning the Crosby County Sheriff’s Office assisted with a search warrant service in Dickens County. What started as an intelligence gathered in Crosby County led to the joint investigation with Texas DPS, Dickens County Sheriff’s Office, and Crosby County Sheriff’s Office, resulting in two arrest and the recovery of narcotics and a firearm. We have the pleasure of working with these agencies and it is our policy to assist whenever we can. These investigations take time and coordination. Crosby County SO K9 Gracie was utilized in this warrant and assisted in the recovery of the seized narcotics. We appreciate the support of the Citizens of Crosby County and the understanding that rural counties must pull together to help stop the narcotics trade that has had such a negative impact on so many people.

Crosby County Sheriff’s Office Year-End Accomplishments and Community Update

The Crosby County Sheriff’s Office is proud to share an update on recent accomplishments and ongoing efforts to keep our community safe.

We closed out 2025 with significant progress. Over 90 cases were filed with the County Attorney, with a record number presented to a Grand Jury. Through grant funding, we were awarded $50,000 to replace our outdated dispatch console, which was installed this week. This new system will allow our dispatchers to more efficiently coordinate Deputies, Fire, and EMS personnel across Crosby County.

Our proactive patrols and focus on combating illegal drugs have resulted in a substantial increase in arrests and criminal drug cases. Prior to January 1, 2025, the Sheriff’s Office made 46 arrests in 2024. By the end of my first year in office, that number had risen to more than 130 arrests.

Investigators followed burglary and vandalism cases as far as Fredericksburg, Texas, and worked alongside the FBI, Texas DPS, Texas Rangers, and other local agencies to pursue criminal charges. We now utilize two narcotics K9s, Wilson and Gracie, and through a partnership with the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office, obtained two police-rated Tahoes for just $100 each. Deputies are current on all state-required training, and the Sheriff’s Office is fully compliant with regulations regarding fi****ms and body armor.

While these statistics matter, it’s the daily service to our community that truly defines our work.

In late January, our office responded to several critical incidents. On January 21, deputies assisted with a disturbance call in Crosbyton that led to an arrest on charges including Sexual Assault of a Child, Indecency with a Child, and Possession of Child Po*******hy. This ongoing case is now a joint investigation with Lubbock Police Department, supported by the Texas Rangers and FBI.

The following day, dispatch received a call regarding an 11-month-old child struggling to breathe. Dispatcher J. Convertino quickly dispatched EMS and Sgt. R. Valdez, who was on patrol in Ralls. Sgt. Valdez arrived promptly and cleared the child’s airway.

As winter storms moved into the area, deputies patrolled hundreds of miles throughout Crosby County, checking on motorists and residents. Before the snow had even melted on January 26, we responded to a burglary at a church in Ralls. Within hours, the suspect was identified and taken into custody, and most of the stolen property was recovered with assistance from Texas DPS.

I want the people of Crosby County to know that while we are proud of our progress, what matters most is protecting our neighbors—helping children find safety, preventing tragedy, assisting stranded motorists, and working together to hold offenders accountable.

On behalf of the men and women of the Crosby County Sheriff’s Office, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to serving you in the year ahead, and I truly believe the best is yet to come for Crosby County.
