The Lone Star and the cross: One man's sacred march across Texas & beyond
SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — Walter Masters, a resident of San Angelo, Texas, has been carrying a cross across the United States for the past 25 years. Thursday morning, a reporter from Concho Valley Homepage saw Masters walking the streets on the south side of San Angelo. Recent rainfall in San Angelo exceeds normal June levels According to Masters, he's walked across the country in 46 states while counting some serious mileage along the way. 'I've walked about 25,000 miles sharing the love of Christ everywhere we go,' said Masters. Masters said he's walked into the San Angelo Rodeo Parade and that God had called him to stay and focus on San Angelo and the surrounding cities. TGSO hosts run for Special Olympics Texas Masters makes the crosses he carries. When it comes to the cross he carries, he said it weighs about 35 pounds, but it is nowhere near the level Jesus had to carry; however, his cross serves as a reminder. 'I pray if they don't stop, that they are reminded of Christ because that's all that matters, not me,' said Masters. Masters noted that his journey with the cross was taking him through San Angelo as he made his way to Bronte, Texas, nearly 34 miles from San Angelo. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

TGSO jail roster down 'temporarily'
SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — The Tom Green County Sheriff's Office sent out a press release regarding their online jail roster. 'The Tom Green County Sheriff's Office would like to announce to the community that our Inmate Roster and Warrants on our website will be down for maintenance temporarily,' said TGSO. This press release came after a reporter spoke to Lt. Levi Vance, who works at the detention center and handles jail records, and which he stated that a technical issue caused by an update to the software used to manage the online inmate roster prevented booking entries from being input into the system. Lt. Vance reported that the issue was resolved 'around lunch' on May 29, but the online jail roster is back down. TGSO also stated in the press release that they will turn off the inmate roster daily alert notifications and will resume when the roster is back online.

Scammers deceive Tom Green County inmate relatives with fake releases
SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage)—On April 15, the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office warned the community about a scam targeting family members of individuals incarcerated in the Tom Green County Detention Center. According to the sheriff's office, inmates' relatives are being contacted by scammers who falsely claim that there is overcrowding at the jail. Due to this issue, scammers tell family members that their loved one is eligible for release and can wear a GPS boot. However, this can only be done if a bond payment is made immediately. TGSO shared that scam callers frequently request payment through gift cards, a wire transfer or other non-traceable methods. Scammers often use public information to sound credible and may spoof the caller ID to make it look as if it is a government number. 'The Tom Green County Sheriff's Office does not solicit or accept payment over the phone for inmate release under any circumstances. If you receive such a call, it is a scam. Hang up and report it immediately.' If you or someone you know has been targeted by this scam, the sheriff's office urges you to make a report by calling their office at (325) 655-8111.
