The alleged abuse began when the victim was 4. She is now 24 and wanted to know the status of her case. The DA’s office had no record but one was found in archives at the Sheriff’s Department. Criminal Investigator Lewis Tatum reinterviewed the victim and arrested a suspect. Jose Luis Maqueda is in jail under $100,000 bond. Tatum has no idea why the case was not submitted to the DA’s office back in 1994.

August 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Orlando, Florida traffic engineer Ian Lockwood gave a crowd at City Hall a lot of things to think about concerning Main Street and the Downtown Square Thursday night. Lockwood touts two-way streets downtown instead of the current one-way streets. He favors four-way stops in place of several traffic lights downtown. Lockwood also introduced the concept of back in angle parking as preferable. Besides remaining two-way, Lockwood suggested wider sidewalks and lower curbs for Main Street along with numerous street trees and street lamps. He tweaked a current concept of the downtown square moving things around and adding more parking around the square.

Federal Judge Rules Drug Task Force Member Made a Reasonable Mistake in Raid at Wrong Address
August 30, 2007 | Leave a Comment
A judge in Federal Court in Texarkana recently ruled that Red River Drug Task Force member Matthew Hooper made a reasonable mistake when task force members raided the wrong resident in late 2004. A jury awarded no dollars in damages for the plaintiffs, David and Kathryn Rogers. Plaintiffs’ Attorneys Kurt Stucky of Nacogdoches and Douglas Froneberger of Sulphur Springs gave notice of an appeal to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. Hooper ended up being the only task force member to stand trial. The city of Sulphur Springs earlier had reached a settlement in the case. Members of the Red River Drug Task Force conducted a raid at a residence in the 100 block of Russell Drive in Sulphur Springs. Attorney Froneberger said David Rogers was pinned to the floor and his wife Kathryn had an assault rifle pointed at her. Apparently Hooper discovered the address was wrong but the raid commenced before he could notify other task force members.

August 30, 2007 | Leave a Comment
There will be a record number of cooks at this year’s World Champion Stew Cook-Off on September 15. As of Thursday morning, chamber of commerce CEO Bill Elliott says that 117 cooking teams had signed up. That tops the 110 that participated last year. Elliott says no teams will be turned away and he added the chamber would fine a place for everyone to cook. Elliott marvels at how the Stew Cook-Off has grown. It started in 1970 with about 12 teams cooking in front of an old National Guard Armory that no longer exists.
