The man named a 44-year-old woman and 33-year-old man as suspects. He told an investigating officer the two had been living with he and his wife, but when they came home on Sept. 12 all of the suspects’ belongings and the swiped goods were gone.
•A deputy was dispatched at about 9:50 p.m. Sept. 13 regarding a report of a suspicious man at a Highway AV residence at Cabool.

•Michael E. Scranlin, 41, of Highway M at Cabool, was issued a citation for peace disturbance after an incident on Sept. 13.
A deputy was dispatched at about 3 p.m. regarding a report of an intoxicated man standing in the roadway on Highway M and throwing rocks at cars. The officer made contact with a 63-year-old man who lives in the area who said he observed Scranlin screaming obscenities, throwing rocks and failing to yield to vehicles as they drove by.
The officer then made contact with Scranlin, who was reportedly too drunk to stand up by himself and cursed at two deputies on the scene and threatened to fight the man who called in the report. Scranlin was taken into custody and transported to the Cabool Police Department pending the arrival of an ambulance to assess his extremely intoxicated condition. He was taken to the Texas County Memorial Hospital emergency room, but left that night without being released.
The reporting party said Scranlin can often be seen yelling and blocking traffic in the roadway at about the same spot.
