Father of oldest boy in case ‘shocked’ by ex-wife’s arrest, actions

By BARBARA GREEN
Steven Lazek says he is “shocked” and “feels a bit guilty” about the events of this past week when his ex-wife, Jessica Petroni was arrested by Bowie Police for child endangerment and her five children, including his eight-year-old son were put into foster care.
The 27-year-old Lazek lives in Grand Prairie and last saw his son on a regular visitation a little more than a month ago. At that time the boy appeared to be healthy and normal according to his dad.
When he saw his child on Tuesday following the tumultuous weekend events, the father said he appeared to be “okay.”
“He was in a good, happy mood, the foster family is doing a good job, but I can see it in his eyes he is wounded. He is concerned about his brothers and sisters,” states Lazek.

Nocona City Council approves NEDC requests

The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
