Reckless Driving / DWI Arrest

On Monday, May 25, 2026, at approximately 3:49 p.m., an on-duty Teague Police Department officer was stationary near the west city limits when a motorist who had reported a reckless driver alerted the officer to the suspect vehicle as it entered town near Freestone Mobile Home Park on U.S. Highway 84 West.

The officer caught up to the vehicle near North 4th Avenue and observed the vehicle traveling over the posted speed limit and failing to maintain a single marked lane. A traffic stop was initiated, but the driver failed to stop and continued onto McGee Street before turning into the McGee Street Apartments, where the vehicle came to a stop.

Officers contacted the driver, identified as 39-year-old Wilber A. Moncada Bustillo, and observed signs of intoxication. Bustillo was unable to perform Standardized Field Sobriety Testing and was placed under arrest. He later consented to a breath test, which indicated a result over the legal limit.

Bustillo was booked into the Freestone County Jail. Texas DPS assisted with this incident.

We thank the reporting motorist for helping alert officers to a potentially dangerous situation. If you see a reckless or impaired driver, call 911 when it is safe to do so.

All persons charged with a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
