Injured man taken to JPS after being beaten; cash taken
Four local citizens were arrested during the past week after they allegedly lured a Fort Worth man to the Bowie area, beat him with a baseball bat and then stole his wallet all to “teach him a lesson.” Chris Hughes, investigator with the Montague County Sheriff’s Office, said the original report of an injured robbery victim came out of Wise County on Aug. 17.
Jay Logan Williams, 39, Fort Worth, was identified as the victim of assault and robbery. He was transported to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth with facial fractures, a broken leg and other injuries, said Hughes.
Arrested in connection with the case late this past week were Chad Cox, Marcy Howard, Derek Joseph and Kyle Mitchell. They have been charged with complaints of aggravated assault and engaging in organized criminal activity. Read the full story in the mid-week News.
