Sheriff’s staff investigates robbery suspect who eludes officers
A far-reaching two-day search for a suspicious male subject who allegedly made threatening actions to a pair of residents in the Silver Lakes area last week took many different twists and turns, but eventually led to the man being arrested in Abilene.
Montague County Sheriff Marshall Thomas said on Feb. 8 they received two complaints about a male subject. At 4:21 p.m. a female subject on Silverleaf Drive said a man in a black Suburban with military-style license plates had followed her and pulled up behind her when she got to her residence. He reportedly told the woman he was told to follow her and said his phone was dead so he could not talk to that alleged person. He then got back in the vehicle and left.
Later that same evening a man called 911 reporting a vehicle with the same description pulled up close next to his vehicle. The man had a black bandana over his face.
“The victim thought he was needing directions or something like that, but then he allegedly made a motion that he wanted money. The victim thought the man had a gun pointing at him, noting there was a white covering on his hand with something sticking out. He thought it was a gun. The man was able to pull away and get around the black vehicle.
The search for the suspect went into Wise County and then back into Montague County, and the man was eventually arrested in Abilene. Read the full story in the weekend Bowie News.

As of June 9 details on why an appeal bond was revoked on Casey Hall which prompted her arrest in Sulphur Springs on June 2 remain unclear.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.
