Everyone makes hundreds, if not thousands, of choices every day. Lots of those choices are mundane and inconsequential, while others are potentially life-changing choices. When it comes to breaking the law, those choices can be life-changing.

There is a small segment of the East Texas population that made a bad choice during the day and it was noticed by law enforcement and they had to intervene in some way. Within the last six days law enforcement officers in Gregg County made 144 total arrests.

The majority of those arrests were misdemeanors and covered things like minor traffic infractions, failure to maintain financial responsibility, driving while intoxicated, no driver's license, family violence, credit card abuse, theft of property, possession of marijuana, and other things.

Of the 144, there were other more serious alleged charges that 37 people are now facing. These felony charges, if convicted, could put them behind bars for a year or more or even life in prison.

Among the most serious felony charges last week in Gregg County are:

  • DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED 3RD OR MORE
