Larry Bryan HostetterA funeral service for Larry Hostetter, the  40-year-old Montague County Sheriff’s deputy who died after an early Monday morning shooting at his home in Nocona, will be at 11 a.m. on Feb. 12 at the Cowboy Church in Henrietta with burial to follow at the church cemetery. Hostetter had been a law officer since 2000 and a deputy with the sheriff’s office since January 2013. He lived at the Nocona residence with his wife Jennifer, along with his four children. Please see his full obituary in today’s Bowie News and at bowienewsonline.com.

At a 9 a.m. Monday press conference, Nocona Police Chief Kent Holcomb and Montague County Sheriff Paul Cunningham revealed few details of the shooting incident other than to say the Texas Rangers were investigating an “officer-involved shooting.”

Nocona Police were called to the Larry Hostetter home in the 200 block of Jordan Drive shortly after midnight Monday morning on a disturbance call.

The Nocona officer, who was not identified by the chief, shot Hostetter during the incident. Holcomb said the officer has been put on administrative leave per department policy. He was uninjured.

Sheriff Paul Cunningham confirmed Deputy Larry Brian Hostetter, 40, died from injuries he received at his residence. Hostetter was not on duty at the time.

The deputy was pronounced dead at the Nocona General Hospital at 1:03 a.m. His body was transported to the Dallas County Medical Examiner for an autopsy. Pictured:

Former DA Hall remains in jail

Published

on

As of June 9 details on why an appeal bond was revoked on Casey Hall which prompted her arrest in Sulphur Springs on June 2 remain unclear.
The former 97th District Attorney was convicted of misapplication of fiduciary property and theft by a public servant on May 13 in the 16th District Court in Denton County.
The jury gave her a sentence of one year in state jail for misapplication of fiduciary property and six years probation for theft by a public servant.
The 38-year-old Hall was booked into the Hopkins County Jail on June 2 on a warrant after a Denton County judge revoked the appeal bond that was $10,000.
Hall filed her intent to appeal the conviction and sentence, so after posting a $10,000 bond, she was released on May 14 instead of beginning her sentence.
Denton County Court records indicated on June 2 Judge Sherry Shipman, who presided in the trial, declared Hall’s bond insufficient and a warrant was issued for her arrest.
There were rumors Hall may have opted to drop her appeal, but that information has not been confirmed through the court. As of June 9 Hall remained booked into the Hopkins County Jail.
