Off Duty Deputy among 250 arrested during Lone Star Rally
Share
If you rode into Galveston for the 2026 Lone Star Rally, law enforcement was watching closely. Galveston County Sheriff Jimmy Fullen confirmed that a multi-agency enforcement sweep led to more than 250 arrests between Thursday afternoon and Sunday morning.
Sheriff Fullen said the operation targeted impaired driving, reckless operation, and gang activity both on Galveston Island and on routes leading into the area. An off-duty Harris County deputy was among those arrested during the sweep. Officials confirmed that no major violent incidents took place during the four-day event.
The Lone Star Rally is the largest motorcycle rally in Texas, bringing hundreds of thousands of people to the coast. Heavy inter-agency enforcement directly impacts riders crossing the Galveston Causeway and traveling nearby highways.
Did you run into law enforcement checkpoints or patrols on your way to the island? Anyone arrested is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
