County authorities were called to several locations to investigate calls during the last week. 

The following are excerpts of reports generated by the Texas County Sheriff’s Department:

•A deputy was dispatched at about 2:30 p.m. June 30 regarding a report of a man threatening suicide at a U.S. 63 residence at Cabool who had also requested being taken to the hospital. The man was transported by ambulance to Texas County Memorial Hospital.

•A 52-year-old Elk Creek man reported on June 24 that three shotguns and a DVD/VCR unit had been swiped from his Dees Road residence. There are no suspects.

•A deputy was dispatched at about 4:20 p.m. June 30 regarding a report of a possible assault at a Highway B residence at Houston.

The officer made contact with a 13-year-old boy who lives there who said his brother and uncle had been choking him. The deputy spoke to the brother, 11, who said he was the only one who had done the choking. The officer spoke to the uncle, 27, and he denied involvement.

Investigation of the case continues.

•A deputy responded at about 5:40 p.m. June 24 to a request for a well-being check at a Mineral Drive residence at Houston.

The response came after a call from the Greene County Sheriff’s Department indicating someone from the Houston location had called a woman in Greene County and left a voicemail message, and the woman had reported hearing a female voice calling for help in the background.

The deputy spoke to the homeowner, who stated everything was OK and that such a call was never made from the residence.
