• A 32-year-old Connett Street resident was arrested for terroristic threat on March 8 after an incident between he and his girlfriend. Reports show that the girlfriend called police around 6:50 p.m. asking for an officer. She told the officer that the two were separating and he was upset because he couldn't find a piece of jewelry that was in his family and he wanted the woman to look for it. The man filled a glass with lighter fluid and placed it on a dresser, making a threatening statement that suggested he would harm her if she didn't find the ring. When the man thought the woman had stopped looking for the jewelry, he threw the glass onto the floor breaking it and yelling at her. He then left the room and lit a cigarette, which is when the woman called police. The man was charged with terroristic threat of a family or household member, a class A misdemeanor, and transported to Fannin County Jail. The woman was advised on the steps she could take to obtain an emergency protective order.

The man called the cops and watched the juveniles as they ran from the property when they saw the cop car approaching. The three juveniles ran on foot from officers, but were all three apprehended.
