An investigating officer made contact with the woman at her Brushy Creek Road residence and she stated she had taken the dog’s body to a veterinarian who told her it had actually been in a fight with another dog and sustained numerous puncture wounds on the legs, neck and face. She said the dog that had won the fight had multiple puncture marks on its neck and ears.
•A deputy was dispatched at about 5:15 a.m. April 2 after a man reported there were several people who wanted to kill him surrounding his Lynch Road residence at Bucyrus.
The officer made contact with the man and he said he had just gotten out of the hospital after an overdose of meth the previous day. The man stated people were giving him “bad dope,” and he had just done a “hot shot.”
The officer requested an ambulance, and its crew measured the man’s heart rate was at 140 beats per minute and determined he was paranoid and delusional. He was taken to Texas County Memorial Hospital.
