Deputy Sheriff Lorenzo Bustos was struck and killed by a drunk driver at about 12:50 while making a traffic stop in the 14000 block of State Highway 155.

He and his field training officer had conducted a traffic stop shortly before midnight and had taken two occupants of the vehicle into custody. While they were completing their investigation of the initial traffic stop another vehicle struck Deputy Bustos as he stood behind his patrol SUV. The impact pushed Deputy Bustos beneath the patrol vehicle. His partner, who was sitting in the passenger seat at the time of the crash, immediately started rendering aid.

Deputy Bustos was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries about five hours later. The driver who struck him was charged with intoxication manslaughter.

Deputy Bustos had served with the Smith County Sheriff’s Office for six months and was on his final night of field training. He had previously served with the Rusk County Sheriff’s Office for one year and the Henderson Police Department for one year. He is survived by his wife and three children.

Production Policy

We know you’re excited to get your gear, and we’re just as excited to send it. For most in-stock items, we our tail off to ship the same day you order — because nobody likes waiting. That said, weekends, holidays, or an unexpected avalanche of orders (it happens!) might slow things down just a bit. If something you grabbed is out of stock or needs to be made just for you, it might take a few extra days. We’ll keep things moving and keep you in the loop.


Shipping Policy

We ship with USPS and UPS — the usual suspects. Once your package leaves our hands, it’s off on its own adventure. You’ll get a tracking number (or you can log into your account) so you can follow along like a proud parent.

Now, as much as we’d love to command the shipping universe (if we did, it would obviously be RELENTLESS), we don’t control what happens once your package is in the hands of USPS or UPS. If it gets delayed, misdelivered (especially if there was a typo in the shipping address), or vanishes into the shipping void — we feel your pain and we’ve got your back. While we can’t take official responsibility after handoff, we’ll help however we can — including pointing you in the right direction to file a claim and offering moral support while you yell at your mailbox.

Unless… you added Shielded Shipping™ at checkout for just $0.92 — then you’re in luck. If your package is confirmed lost, we’ll ship you a replacement. No hoops, no headaches. Just relentless support.
