This morning around 5:20 a.m., Courvilles Catering, 1700 Rose lane at Hwy 90, Beaumont, Texas was burglarized. The surveillance video captured the images of 2 men tearing into the cash register and stealing other items from the restaurant to include 5 briskets.

Once the video was reviewed, Deputies and Officers from several agencies recognized the white male in the video as 51 year old Tomas Moraida. JCSO Detectives worked with the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office and were able to obtain a Burglary warrant for Moraida’s arrest.

JCSO Warrant Officers arrested Moraida in Beaumont this afternoon AT 2:05 P.M. in the Avenues neighborhood, (Forsythe and Avenue E). The white Ford sedan that he was driving was seized and towed. The investigation continues. Everyone is curious-we did not recover the brisket.

We are still searching for the identity of the black male accomplice involved in this burglary. (see photos) If you have information about this burglary please contact Crime Stoppers at 409-833-TIPS(8477), log onto www.833TIPS.com or download the P3 app. You will not be asked your name and you could be eligible for a cash reward. ...

Glad you got this trash off the street!! Even if it’s just for a day or two.

Other dude is cooking the brisket. Ain't you got hounds??

This is the same man that stole all those statues from HEB too

He has been on tape with his vehicle for several burglaries in Nederland. I hope they make the connection.

Sour Lake Police Department

As the new school year begins, the Sour Lake Police Department would like to remind all HJISD parents and students about School Zone safety and traffic laws.

- Cell Phone use inside the school zone is strictly prohibited, which includes texting.

- Speed limits inside school zones are greatly reduced, so be sure to pay attention to those posted School Zone speed limit signs.

- When a school bus has its lights activated it is loading or unloading children. Passing a school bus on either side of the roadway while these lights are activated and the bus is stopped is a violation of the law.

We here at the Sour Lake Police Department take our children’s safety very seriously, which is why we enforce a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY on any of these violations. ... See MoreSee Less

Are there any plans to utilize the police officers who are parked at the elementary school in the morning and afternoon to direct traffic? Traffic would flow more smoothly if there was someone to tell which car to enter the parking lot and to assist cars pulling out and going to the left. I feel this is an area where an accident could easily occur as people are trying to leave the parking lot. I appreciate that law enforcement is present but is it possible that they will be taking a more active role?

Did You Know?
State law requires that drivers stop when a school bus is stopped and operating a visual signal – either red flashing lights or a stop sign. Drivers should not proceed until the school bus resumes motion; the driver is signaled by the bus driver to proceed; or the visual signal is no longer activated.
Drivers who illegally pass school buses face fines up to $1,250 for the first offense. For individuals convicted of this offense more than once, the law allows the individual's driver license to be suspended for up to six months. (A ticket for illegally passing a school bus cannot be dismissed through defensive driving.) Additionally, this offense could potentially include criminal charges if they cause serious bodily injury to another. ... See MoreSee Less

Some schools here in Southeast Texas will resume in the next few weeks. This means that school buses will again be delivering precious cargo to and from those schools.

According to Texas law, drivers must stop when a school bus extends its stop sign or turns on their flashing red lights. When a school bus is stopped, drivers must come to a complete stop on all lanes in both traveling directions; this is with the exception of a road with a raised median or barrier.

The Passing Texas School Bus Fine Increase for a first offense will be from $1,000 to $1,250. That is an increase of $250 or 25%. Any driver who violates the law more than once will not only face the Passing Texas School Bus Fine Increase but a suspension of their license for up to six months.

Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputies will be out on the roadways to ensure the safety of our children. #OneCountyOneCommunity ... See MoreSee Less

The Jefferson County Sheriffs Office has received numerous calls from citizens in reference to a phone scam.

The caller falsely represents themselves as Entergy employees.

They are telling citizens that their electricity bill is due immediately and if they don't make arrangements to pay the bill automatically, they will be disconnected.

They are telling people who pay by check or a monthly automated payment that they have not received their payment.

This is a SCAM. if you have questions about your Entergy bill, contact Entergy directly.

The number that shows up on caller ID is Entergy's actual number . The message that they leave you is to call another phone number to pay your bill.

If a call sounds suspicious, hang-up and call 1-800-ENTERGY (1-800-368-3749) to speak directly with an Entergy customer service representative. PLEASE SHARE ... See MoreSee Less
