A potentially dangerous situation was averted Friday night as law officers attempted to talk with a man who locked himself in a RV parked at the Star Travel Center along U.S. 287. After 90 minutes of talking to the man on the loud speaker he came outside.
Montague County Sheriff Marshall Thomas said the man, Gary Leroy Carlson, 51, Greeley, CO, was arrested on a felony warrant out of Colorado, along with two drug complaints.
This convergence of events began earlier in the evening around 7:30 p.m. when Bowie Police Officer Paul Magers made a traffic stop in the 1000 block of Decatur Street. Police were responding to a disturbance at Murphy Oil at Walmart, where a woman was “acting impaired” and left the scene. The woman was later stopped by Bowie Police.
