Wreck takes the life of BHS teen, 16

The Bowie community is mourning the shocking death of a local athlete and student who was killed in a two-vehicle crash Monday evening.
The accident occurred at 5:05 p.m. on State Highway 59 North where Mill Street merges with 59. Department of Public Safety officials said Colby Price, driving a 1999 Chevrolet pickup was southbound on Hwy. 59 and was stopped in the left turn lane to Mill.
The 1985 Kenworth dump truck driven by Jonathan Logan of Bowie was northbound on Hwy. 59. Public Information Trooper Dan Buesing stated Price failed to yield right-of-way turning in front of the dump truck, basically colliding head-on causing major damage to the pickup. Buesing said Price for “unknown reasons” may not have seen the truck when they collided.
He is the son of Cody and Lory Price, and Christy Price. He was a junior at Bowie High School where he played varsity football, and competed in power lifting and track.

Former DA Hall remains in jail

As of June 9 details on why an appeal bond was revoked on Casey Hall which prompted her arrest in Sulphur Springs on June 2 remain unclear.
The former 97th District Attorney was convicted of misapplication of fiduciary property and theft by a public servant on May 13 in the 16th District Court in Denton County.
The jury gave her a sentence of one year in state jail for misapplication of fiduciary property and six years probation for theft by a public servant.
The 38-year-old Hall was booked into the Hopkins County Jail on June 2 on a warrant after a Denton County judge revoked the appeal bond that was $10,000.
Hall filed her intent to appeal the conviction and sentence, so after posting a $10,000 bond, she was released on May 14 instead of beginning her sentence.
Denton County Court records indicated on June 2 Judge Sherry Shipman, who presided in the trial, declared Hall’s bond insufficient and a warrant was issued for her arrest.
There were rumors Hall may have opted to drop her appeal, but that information has not been confirmed through the court. As of June 9 Hall remained booked into the Hopkins County Jail.
