The monthly Neighborhood Watch meeting took place on Tuesday with local police providing information on protecting yourself from theft and drug crimes.
New Neighborhood Watch Captain Dillon Steen welcomed the audience and thanked former captain Stephanie Post for her efforts and dedication. NW Lt. Kathy Adam also will be assisting Steen with the watch committee.
“We are dedicated to keeping this program rolling, growing and working together with our police department and citizens to make this program the best and most effective for all. Never hesitate to reach out by messaging the watch page if you have questions or we can direct you to the right folks,” said Steen.
Assistant Police Chief Kent Stagg and Detective Sgt. Bob Blackburn gave the program pointing out that theft and drug crimes often go hand-in-hand during the holiday season. They encouraged citizens to be more vigilant during this time. They also discussed vehicle burglaries and porch burglaries of delivered packages. Read the full story in the weekend Bowie News.
One person went to the Bowie emergency room following this accident on U.S. Highway 81 and Applegate Road at 2:52 p.m. Wednesday. Department of Public Safety officers report a truck tractor tanker was north bound on Hwy 81 driven by Michael Logan, 57, Duncan, OK. A passenger car moved into the left lane to pass the truck and Logan reportedly tapped his brakes, that locked up causing him to jack-knife across the highway. As the tanker crossed into oncoming traffic a southbound Dodge Ram 2500 pickup driven by Bradley Werner, 49, Lavaca, AZ struck the tanker. Werner was transported by Bowie EMS to the ER with undisclosed injuries. Texas Department of Transportation crews arrived on the scene to assist while debris and vehicles were removed from the highway. (Photo by Barbara Green)
