Two men jailed in unrelated sexual abuse
Two Montague County men were arrested this past week in unrelated sexual abuse cases that involved alleged incidents that occurred several years ago.
Montague County Sheriff’s Office Investigator Chris Hughes said Gary Arnold Griswold, 68, Bowie, was arrested on Feb. 17 and charged with a complaint of continuous sexual abuse of a young child. A $20,000 bond was set and he was released from jail on bond on Feb. 18.
The case was handled by Investigator Joey Stewart.
In a second case, Matthew Bennett of Nocona was arrested for failing to register as a sex offender, but a few days while still in jail was served with a warrant for sexual assault stemming from alleged incidents between 2011 and 2012. Investigator Chris Hughes handled this case. Read the full story on both cases in the mid-week News.
On Friday city officials reported the intersection at Rock and Pillar was closed due to a sinkhole in the street. This area has been experiencing major drainage problems for many years damaging culverts and the street asphalt and concrete, with a portion of the street collapsing earlier in the spring. Drivers should avoid this area.
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.
