Randy Keck/The Community News: Jaycie Case and Olivia Dickey work on the midsection of a snowman during snowfall in Aledo.
Due to snow and possible ice with near-freezing and freezing temperatures, which will make roads hazardous, Aledo ISD announced at 5:50 a.m. this morning (Thursday, Feb. 11) that all campuses will be closed for the day.
Parker County Sheriff’s Investigators announced late Friday afternoon that one man is in custody in connection with an aggravated robbery case on Monday, Feb. 8 in Azle, where a man was beaten with a pistol and robbed inside his residence.
The disabled victim reported two men entered his home, pistol-whipped him, and robbed him of an undisclosed amount of cash, fleeing the scene around 10:30 p.m. The man’s canine assisting German shepherd, “Major,” was shot and killed during the incident.
A family member of the victim chased the men in a pickup truck until she was fired upon by the suspects, striking her vehicle.
Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said the suspect was identified as Patrick Cox, 27, of Watauga. Cox was stopped earlier Friday by Watauga officers on traffic violations and is being held there. Parker County Sheriff’s investigators expect Cox to be extradited to Parker County on the aggravated robbery charges.
“We have obtained evidence linking the suspect to the crime and another arrest is pending for an accomplice,” Fowler said.
Parker County Sheriff’s investigators are seeking the public’s help with identifying and locating two suspects believed to have robbed and pistol-whipped a disabled man late Monday evening, Feb. 1, in his northeastern Parker County home.
The victim was in bed at his home on West 40 Estates in Azle around 10:30 p.m. when two men entered the home with weapons, beat him with a pistol and demanding cash.
When the victim’s assistance dog “Major” attacked one of the suspects, the 12-year-old German shepherd was fatally shot twice – once with a .380 handgun and again with a .410 shotgun.
A family member heard the shots and ran to help. She saw the men fleeing, with an undisclosed amount of cash, and pursued the men in her vehicle.
Parker County Sheriff’s Lt. Mark Arnett said the woman lost sight of them near Silver Creek Elementary School on FM 730 after they fired several shots at her vehicle, striking it on the driver’s side. The woman was not injured.
