BOSQUE COUNTY, Texas — Bosque County Narcotics Investigators apprehended a fugitive in the methamphetamine trafficking investigation that led them to arrest two others last week.

NET team Investigators traveled to a Super 8 motel in Hillsboro Thursday evening, July 29, assisted by the Hillsboro Police Department and Hill County Sheriff's Office.

Officers were able to locate and arrest 29-year old Becky Buckingham of Clifton without incident, according to the Bosque County Sheriff's Office.
