Authorities say “Career Criminal” in Custody

BULLARD — A Tyler woman arrested in Bullard is facing at least 20 individual charges and there are more to come. Tiangela Ross Berry, 31, Tyler, is being held at the Cherokee County Jail on charges spanning five counties, ranging from assaulting a public servant, engaging in organized criminal activity and possession of drugs.

A citizen contacted the department when Berry’s vehicle was seen blocking traffic along N. Houston Street near Austin Bank in Bullard. Berry was apparently �slumped over� in the vehicle and the citizen woke her. Berry left the scene and officers later stopped her on Hwy 69. During the stop, Berry hit an officer with the door of her vehicle, resulting in an assault of a public servant charge. Tyler Police are reportedly considering felony theft charges after a stolen purse was found in Berry’s vehicle. The charge is escalated to a felony because she has numerous other arrests for theft. Berry was also found with prescription drugs in the vehicle which were not hers.

In all, she generated charges of possession of a controlled substance, possession of a dangerous drug, driving while license invalid with a previous conviction, assaulting a public servant and resisting arrest or transport.
