Theft of two trailer wheels and tires in Wellman incident
J R Thomas reported two trailer wheels and tires stolen from a fuel trailer near Wellman. Sheriff Fulford and Deputy Gordon arrested two men nearby after a motorist assisted, finding the missing items between the suspects' seats. The rapid response followed a 5 a.m. discovery and a 15 minute turnaround. Brownfield set for a Tuesday special election on a dog at large ordinance with a 5 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. voting window at City Hall. The measure mirrors Lubbock’s and would require a $1 dog license and leash rules to curb rabies risk and property damage.
