K9 Ace vested, ready to roll for sheriff’s office
Montague County Sheriff’s K9 Ace has received a bullet and stab protective vest thanks to a charitable donation from Vested Interest in K9s, Inc.
Back in mid-February, Ace and his handler Deputy Chase Pelton learned he was eligible for the vest after his application was accepted. The K9 unit stays very busy with traffic stops, drug checks and other deployments during their shifts with the sheriff’s office. The pair have been working together since January 2018 and have been responsible for numerous large drug stops and nearly 100 arrests. They also are visitors to local schools for educational programs.
The vest was sponsored by a fundraiser hosted by Dick Flanagan of the Warthog Motorcycle Club of Bellaire, OH. It’s embroidered with the sentiment “In memory of SWAT Officer Don Breeze Buff WMC 41.”

The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
