Good afternoon.. a short time ago the Crosby County Sheriff’s Office received a call that there was a possible threat to life situation at Ralls ISD. Deputies, Texas DPS, and Crosbyton PD responded. Ralls administration and staff reacted quickly and students were secured in place. There is no active threat at this time. The brief lockdown was lifted after Law Enforcement checked the schools.

We will always take these threats seriously and respond accordingly.

To reiterate: this does not appear to have been a credible threat and there is no known threat at this time.

Just after 7:00pm this evening the Crosby County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area of 200 N Ayrshire in Crosbyton to assist the Crosbyton Police Department and Crosbyton Fire Department with a structure fire. Prior to our arrival the Crosbyton Police Department had one individual detained and subsequently arrested. Crosbyton Fire was on scene as well, starting to fight the fire. This is still an active scene and the 100 and 200 blocks of Ayrshire/ 651 are closed to traffic. Fire hoses are in place on the roadway and must be avoided for the safety of our Firefighters and under penalty of law. This case is being investigated as an arson and the residence is an active crime scene so please avoid the area for the time being.

I would like to recognize the quick response from Crosbyton Police and Fire as the worked diligently to bring this situation under control. All of our area Volunteer Fire Departments have been very busy over the past few days fighting fires started by the afternoon storms.

We will re-open the street as soon as it is practical to do so.

Contrary to what is circulating on social media… there was no shooting or active shooter called into the Sheriff’s Office Dispatch over the last few days. There was one check subject call that came in on Saturday night where the alleged “victim “ fled the scene prior to the arrival of Crosbyton PD and Crosby County Deputies. Law enforcement was on scene within minutes of this call being reported. There was no evidence of anyone being shot. Please be careful what you read on Social Media. If there was a threat to the public this agency would have made you aware.

The Crosby County Sheriff’s Office is proud to partner with the Crosbyton Police Department and Texas Department of Public Safety in serving the Citizens of Crosby County. This is what teamwork looks like.

🚔 Joint Drug Investigation Results in Arrest and Seizure of Illegal Narcotics

Today, the Crosbyton Police Department, Crosby County Sheriff's Office, and Texas Department Of Public Safety conducted a joint operation that resulted in the arrest of one individual and the seizure of suspected illegal narcotics, a gun, and other paraphernalia.

During the investigation, officers observed suspected illegal drugs in plain view on the front porch of a residence. That observation established probable cause to obtain a search warrant for the residence, where additional suspected dangerous drugs and evidence related to illegal drug activity were located and seized.

This successful operation highlights the continued partnership between the Crosbyton Police Department and the Crosby County Sheriff's Office in their commitment to combating illegal drug activity and protecting the citizens of Crosby County.

The investigation remains ongoing, and additional charges or arrests may be possible. All suspects are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

If you have information regarding illegal drug activity in our community, please contact the Crosbyton Police Department or the Crosby County Sheriff's Office. Working together, we can help keep Crosby County a safe place to live, work, and raise a family.

From the Chief of Police
