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.
The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
