Game wardens record 63 arrests
Texas Game Wardens are investigating several incidents from the Independence Day holiday weekend.
On July 6, game wardens recovered the fourth victim from a canoeing accident on Houston County Lake. Three victims were recovered on July 5 during the afternoon.
Also on July 6, game wardens led by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department dive team recovered a victim who had driven into Richland Chambers Reservoir.
A 41-year-old man from Marble Falls was arrested late July 4 and booked into the Burnet County jail on intoxication assault charges after the boat he was allegedly operating colliding with a Marble Falls Police Department marine safety patrol vessel on Lake Marble Falls.
Game wardens also are investigating the death of a five-year-old girl that occurred on Lake Travis near Austin. Mechanical failure may have caused her death. Her name has been withheld.
Overall during Independence Day weekend, there were nine boating accidents, two stolen boats were recovered, nine search-and-rescues were performed and multiple felony arrests.
While on patrol, game wardens made contest with more than 47,000 boaters, and 63 arrests were made for boating while intoxicated.
The TPWD recommends water enthusiasts learn how to swim, closely supervise children while on or near the water, use a designated boater, wear lifejackets and take a boater education course. Also, use the ignition safety switch while operating a motorized watercraft.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
