Man wanted for sex crimes in OH caught in New Caney

NEW CANEY, TX (KTRK) -- Montgomery County deputies uncovered what they say is an extensive child porn collection during a raid in New Caney last night.

Authorities say they also found a disturbing collection of children's underwear during their search of a mobile home belonging to the parents of 23-year-old Shane Trumble. The mobile home on FM 1485 is where investigators say Trumble was hiding out.

Trumble's family is now being evicted from this RV Park following last night's arrest. They have until this weekend to move out.

During Trumble's arrest, detectives apparently found iPads and computers with multiple hard drives and 30 gigabytes of child pornography.

Montgomery County constable deputies say back in June, Trumble moved to the Wild Country RV Park with his relatives. Before then, he lived in Ohio, where he was wanted for sex crimes against children.

Authorities say he never registered as a sex offender here in Texas.

"I have grandkids that live here on the property. I don't want those type of people in the park," said Roger Hollon, manager of the Wild Country RV Park. "If they've been placed in a national registry where you could pull up by their name and their face, we would know who we would be looking at and they wouldn't have been in here."

Trumble is being held without bond in the Montgomery County jail. He also faces charges out of Ohio. In addition, he faces four counts of possession of child pornography related to those cases here in Texas. His bond is set for those cases at $400,000.

Caney Creek student accused in deadly DUI

CONROE, TX (KTRK) -- On the eve of prom weekend, a Caney Creek High School student is in jail. He's accused of doing something that killed a classmate.

The senior and star baseball player who would be getting ready for prom, is now charged with drinking, doing drugs and causing the death of one of his classmates.

At 2am on March 14, DPS troopers found a mangled 2002 Saturn. Inside of it were two teenagers. The driver was 18-year-old Daniel Freund. His passenger was 16-year-old Hallie McDonald.

"If it wasn't for God, I wouldn't get through this, I wouldn't get through it at all," said McDonald's grandmother, Donna Kisner.

Investigators say Freund was speeding southbound on 1485. He missed a curve, ran off the road and slid into a pole. McDonald did not survive.

"A sample of his blood was taken to the Department of Public Safety for evidentary purposes," prosecutor Andrew James said.

DPS records just released show Freund was drunk at the time of the crash. His blood alcohol level was at .11 percent. And he tested positive for two drugs, including marijuana.

We asked the boy's father his thoughts on the charge against his son.

"We don't have any comments right now, sorry," he said.

And while McDonald's grandparents call the news bittersweet, they say it's time someone pays the price for the loss of their precious granddaughter.

"His parents they must be going through a hard time. They've got to be, and I really feel for them," Kisner said. "We're not gonna have her. We're never gonna have her until we pass over and go see her."

Freund is charged with intoxication manslaughter. His bond is set at $100,000.

Late Friday night, attorney Doug Atkinson, who says he's representing Freund, issued the following statement to Eyewitness News

"Our criminal justice system is set up to protect the rights of all those accused. We ask that no one rush to judgement as all the facts are not yet known. We have been retained to represent Daniel, however, at this time we have not been given access to the State's evidence.

"We send our heartfelt condolences to Halie's family in their time of grief. While we realize that nothing can replace the loss they have endured we ask that the public give the justice system time to develop and scrutinize all the facts and evidence in this case.

"We will do our very best to defend our client and at the same time be respectful of the loss the family has endured. This case is truly a tragedy for everyone involved."

New Caney ISD gives teachers bonus checks

  NEW CANEY, TX (KTRK) -- The New Caney school district on Friday handed out special checks aimed at helping the morale of district employees.

District administrators and school board trustees handed out $600 checks to all full-time district workers. Last July, the school board passed a resolution regarding these checks, during a time of uncertainty about state education funding.

"We didn't give any raises last year,. So we're really excited about giving this lump sum payment to our employees for a job well done," New Caney ISD Superintendent Kenn Franklin said.

Those who received the checks had to have been employed at least 90 days and still employed today.
