NATIONAL NIGHT OUT TO BE CELEBRATED IN THE CITY

Posted on September 10, 2014 by admin

Neighborhood Watch Programs and the Nacogdoches Police Department will be celebrating National Night Out in Texas on Tuesday, October 7, 2014.

“The National Association of Town Watch, who sponsors National Night Out, allows the celebration to be held the first Tuesday in October for Texas residents, NPD Sgt. Greg Sowell said. “Texas law enforcement suggested this several years ago because of heat and mosquito concerns. NNO has been celebrated by most Texans in October for the past six years.

Neighborhood Watch groups within the city will hold “block parties” on the evening of October 7th .

National Night Out is a night when residents are encouraged to lock their doors and spend the evening getting to know their neighbors in the name of crime prevention. Law Enforcement officers and other officials visit these parties to form relationships with the residents. Anyone interested in forming a Neighborhood Watch Program in the city or hosting a block party should contact the police department at 559-2607. Block parties should register with the police department by Friday, October 3rd.

Dog Attack

Posted on September 10, 2014 by admin

The Nacogdoches County Sheriff Office is investigating a gruesome attack by two pit bull dogs that has left an eight year old child recovering from several dog bite wounds. The Nacogdoches County Sheriff Office and Pct. 1 Constable Office were dispatched to Cr. 8113 about 9:30 last night in reference to two dogs attacking a child.
Sheriff Jason Bridges stated that the dogs had apparently escaped out of the back yard fence through a hole that was in the fence last night. Another child who lived in the subdivision had asked the victim to help her look for her lost dogs. The two children apparently split up looking for the dogs during the search. The victim was standing on Cr. 8113 when the two pit bull dogs came running up to her and started jumping on her. The child then started running away from the dogs and fell to the ground. Both dogs then started attacking the victim.
An elderly female who heard the attack taking place came running out and laid on top of the child trying to protect her. However, the dogs continued the attack biting both the elderly female and the young child. A nearby neighbor heard the attack taking place and was able to stop the attack. The neighbor had to use a baseball bat to beat the dogs away from the victim.
The Nacogdoches County Sheriff Office and the Nacogdoches Animal Shelter have picked up both animals that were involved in the attack. The Sheriff Office has identified the owner of the dogs who have voluntarily surrendered both animals to the Sheriff Office.
The victim of the attack was transported by EMS to the Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital. The victim is listed in stable condition. The elderly female was transported to the Hospital and is also listed in stable condition.

Sheriff Jason Bridges stated that both animals that were involved in this horrendous attack will be put down.
