Child, 9, enticed to truck, runs back home
The staff of the Montague County Sheriff’s office is investigating a report of someone attempting to entice a child into a vehicle using candy Thursday afternoon.
Chief Deputy Jack Lawson said the report was made at 2:45 p.m. on June 22 on Smyrna Road. A nine-year-old girl told her stepmother that someone in a blue pickup tried to get her into the vehicle asking and enticing her with candy.
The youngster ran into the house and told her stepmother, who reported it to law enforcement.
“There is not a lot of information to go on, but we would encourage parents and other family members to remind their children to avoid any strangers who might try to lure them into a vehicle or to go with them anywhere,” explained Lawson.
As of Thursday, the only description was a four-door blue Dodge pickup. It is unclear at this time if it was a male or a female talking to the girl.
Anyone who has information about this case or a possible tip can call the sheriff’s office at 894-2871 or Crime Stoppers at 866-499-8477.
Calls to Crimestoppers remain anonymous and if any tip leads to an arrest, a reward may be provided.
On Friday city officials reported the intersection at Rock and Pillar was closed due to a sinkhole in the street. This area has been experiencing major drainage problems for many years damaging culverts and the street asphalt and concrete, with a portion of the street collapsing earlier in the spring. Drivers should avoid this area.
The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
