Newton County Sheriffs Report
By Sheriff Billy Rowles
Oct. 23, 2017
Hope everyone had a good week. Let’s see what’s been going on.
Start with me being hacked here at the office. Got two e-mails saying different people received my payment. One was $2000.00 and one was $3000.00. Didn’t happen, they wanted me to open
the e-mail. Junk delete it!
We had a Sheriff’s sale here at the office Friday. We did very well selling seized property that has been stacking up. Thanks to all who came to bid on all the items.
A man beat up and tried to cut his girlfriend’s throat early Saturday morning. It took a while to get a
warrant for the thug. Once we got the warrant we went to Deweyville and arrested him. Thanks to Deweyville Fire Department for the help early Saturday morning.
Received several calls this week, just a few that only us in east Texas understand. Received a call from a man who said he got “ whopped in the head”. One call from a lady said “her son was acting a fool”. One reported an accident as a “fender bender”. Another caller said mom and son have been “ feuding for a week”.
Gotta go. Thought for the week: Behind every angry woman is a man who has absolutely no idea what he did wrong. Ya’ll have a good week and if we can help, just holler. God Bless
