Montague County Sheriff Marshall Thomas said things were hopping Monday morning with a pair of incidents that included assault of a peace officer and an alleged stabbing during an attempted aggravated robbery.
After a very hectic Sunday where deputies helped track down suspects from a high speed chase that began in Clay County, Monday opened up early.
Stabbing report
Thomas said at 5:18 a.m. a 911 call came in from a man who said he had been stabbed while attempting to get gasoline at the Sunset Gas and Grill, located on the service road at U.S. 287 and Highway 101.
Monday morning Thomas said the details were still preliminary, but the injured man, Caleb Schlomach, 30, Alvord, called while he was driving to get medical help. He said a white male with long hair came up to him and demanded money before stabbing him with a knife.
Investigation by the sheriff’s department found Schlomach changed his story indicating it took place at a different location and he knew the man who attacked him, but would not identify him.

Nocona Police were called to the Dairy Queen around 3 a.m. Monday following what appeared to be a “road rage” incident with a vehicle said Police Chief Kent Holcomb.
A man driving a vehicle had got into a confrontation with another driver, then he reportedly began doing donuts in the restaurant parking lot where he allegedly ran into an employee’s parked vehicle before driving away.
Officer Cody Stone went to the man’s house after witnesses told them who he was. When officers attempted to arrest the suspect, Granville Mitchell, 30, Nocona, he fought with the officer and a deputy who had arrived for backup. They were finally able to get him into custody and took him to the county jail.
Sheriff Thomas said when Mitchell was being booked into jail, and his handcuffs being removed he began to fight with the police and deputies, and threatened the jailors. They believed he was intoxicated.
