Half of stolen money returned to Jackrabbit Boosters
The Bowie Jackrabbit Booster Club has received half of the money recently reported stolen from its bank account as the police continue investigating the theft of some $13,000.
Lt. Randy Hanson of the Bowie Police Department said Monday a cashier’s check for $7,525 was received by the club on Sept. 17 from one subject allegedly involved in the incident.
Police began the investigation on Sept. 10 when two officers from the club reported the missing money from its account at Legend Bank. Hanson said in the investigation so far evidence points to a pair of subjects, but they have not been questioned.
Hanson explained last week it is unclear at this point what charges may be filed possibly theft, forgery or unauthorized use of a debit card; however, he added Monday the return of the funds does not eliminate possible criminal charges as the investigation continues.
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.
