18-year-old Zackery David Bootz Arrested, Booked Into Coryell County Jail

Zackery David Bootz, 18, was arrested by the Copperas Cove Police Department and later booked into the Coryell County jail, according to official postings from the department and a public booking record. The Copperas Cove Police Department daily bulletin lists an arrest entry for Bootz under report number 26-0364 at 0836 at the 500 block of Louise Street.

The bulletin entry records, verbatim, the charges and related agency involvement: "ARRESTED: BOOTZ, ZACKERY DAVID: UNLAWFUL RESTRAINT, FRAME RESIST ARREST SEARCH OR TRANSPORT. ASSIST ANOTHER AGENCY (LAMPASAS COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE): PROBATION VIOLATION MOTION TO ADJUDICATE POSSESSION CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE PG 2 UNDER 1 [...] TO ADJUDICATE POSSESSION CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE PG 2 UNDER 1 GRAM: 500 BLOCK LOUISE STREET." A separate public booking record dated Feb. 4, 2026 provides the name and age and states, "Publicly posted jail/booking records show Zackery David Bootz (age 18) was arrested by Copperas Cove Police Department and booked into the Coryell County jail on Feb. 4, 2026." That booking excerpt ends with a truncated phrase - "Charges listed in the booking rec" - indicating the copy supplied to this newsroom did not include the full booked-charge list.

The Copperas Cove bulletin places the arrest entry on its Feb. 3, 2026 daily log, while the booking display carries a Feb. 4, 2026 published booking date. Both records are part of the public documentation available: the bulletin supplies the incident time (0836), report number (26-0364), and location (500 block Louise Street), while the booking record confirms identity, age, arresting agency, and the Coryell County jail as the booking facility. The documents do not explicitly connect the bulletin line and the booking timestamp beyond those entries, and the precise timeline from arrest to formal booking is not fully detailed in the materials supplied.

Local implications center on community safety and the court process. The unlawful restraint allegation and the bulletin's reference to a probation-violation motion tied to possession of a controlled substance under 1 gram involve both Coryell County and Lampasas County authorities, which may mean hearings or motions in more than one jurisdiction. For Copperas Cove residents, such incidents underscore the routine interplay between municipal policing and county-level probation or court actions, and they can affect case scheduling, victim notifications, and local perceptions of safety.

The bulletin that day also logged multiple routine incidents, including another arrest listed as "BOULANGER, ARIAHLYN TERESE GOLDEN: EVANS DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL BY MINOR, POSSESSION ALCOHOL BY A MINOR, POSSESSION ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE IN MOTOR VEHICLE, POSSESS PURCHASE CONSUME TOBACCO BY MINOR: 400 BLOCK SOUTH MAIN STREET," illustrating a busy patrol day in the city.

This newsroom will seek the full Coryell County booking sheet, the arrest report narrative for incident 26-0364, and any related Lampasas County filings to clarify the charges, arresting officer, bond status, and upcoming court dates. Residents following the case should expect court scheduling and formal charges to be posted on county dockets as the next steps in the legal process.
