The following are excerpts of reports generated by the Texas County Sheriff’s Department:
•A 26-year-old Raymondville man reported June 25 that a neighbor had stolen an antique rocking horse and a grill from his Kelly Road residence. While an investigating deputy was on the way to the scene, the man called and said he had gotten the goods back from the neighbor and no officer was needed.
•A deputy was dispatched June 11 after a woman reported several neglected dogs at a Long Hollow Road residence at Plato. The man who owns the dogs showed the them to the officer, and they all appeared to be in good health and had plenty of food and water.
•A man and woman reported at about 11:50 p.m. June 13 that tenants were being loud and bothering them at their Cadle Road residence at Licking. An investigating officer made contact with the tenants and advised them to be quieter.
•A 35-year-old Houston woman reported on June 13 that her dog had been stolen from her residence in a Northview Lane trailer park. An investigating officer contacted the woman’s boyfriend, who stated he had the dog. He returned it.
•A 43-year-old Licking woman reported on June 22 that her juvenile son had been assaulted by another juvenile boy. The case was referred to the county juvenile office.
•A deputy was dispatched June 25 regarding a report of peace disturbance at a Highway W residence at Summersville.
The officer made contact with a 48-year-old man who lives there who stated that while he was vaccinating livestock, a neighbor man had come to a fence between their properties with an ax handle in his hand and yelled about a horse and cow of his being shot with a pellet gun and about water running into a pond of his because of a sewage pipe.
The man told the officer the neighbor had accused he and his family of things in the past, and that they don’t own a pellet gun and that a septic tank was removed years ago and no liquid could be running from that area toward the neighbor’s pond.
The officer spoke to the neighbor and advised him not to accuse people of things without proof. The neighbor said he was just frustrated about sewage running into his pond. The officer advised him that he might consider contacting the EPA.
•A deputy was dispatched at about 3:30 a.m. June 23 regarding a report of a burglary at a bar on Highway 32 at Licking.
The officer spoke to a man who lives nearby who said three vehicles were parked at the bar and that someone was hitting the side of the bar. He said when he came outside he saw a person run from a door to the bar and then observed two of the vehicles leave.
The man provided a license plate number to the officer. The woman who owns the bar was contacted, and she said the back door was damaged and items had been removed from the wall, but that nothing appeared to be missing.
Investigation of the case continues.
