Sheriff’s office called out to infant’s death
Staff of the Montague County Sheriff’s office are investigating the death of a one-month infant girl in the Lake Nocona area.
Chief Deputy Jack Lawson said the emergency call from a mother who said her baby was not breathing came in at 11:55 a.m. Thursday in the Nocona Lake Estates area. The ambulance arrived and transported the infant to Nocona General Hospital where the death was pronounced.
Deputy Andrew Miller is the investigator in this death. Lawson said officers were assisted at the scene by Texas Ranger Craig Stephens and District Attorney Investigator Chris Hamilton.
On Friday Deputy Miller was at the Dallas Medical Examiner’s office awaiting autopsy results and a possible preliminary cause of death. The SO did not want to release any additional information on this death as the investigation is in the preliminary stages.
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.
