Orville Throneberry, who kept law officers at bay in Sunset for nearly three hours last Friday threatening them and himself with a gun, faces a complaint of aggravated assault on a public servant, a first degree felony stemming from the Aug. 23 incident.
Montague County Chief Deputy Jack Lawson said the 56-year-old Throneberry, was served with that charge Friday after he was arrested. The Texas Rangers filed a new count of possession of a firearm by a felon on Monday, and Throneberry may see a drug charge stemming from a search of his house in Sunset after Friday’s shooting.
The sheriff’s office had been dealing with Throneberry for more than a week. Lawson said on Aug. 15 officers executed a search warrant at the Sunset home as part of an investigation into allegations Throneberry assaulted and unlawfully restrained a woman.
