05-12-08   Deputy John Pearson responded to a call of buffalo on Hwy-121 and Binion Road east of Van Alstyne.  Upon his arrival he observed five buffalo on the roadway.  He managed to get them off of the highway onto Binion Road, but could not get them much farther.  Lt. David Hawley arrived to assist until an owner could be located.  After about 30 minutes, the owner’s son arrived and attempted to get the animals to follow him with a bucket of feed.  They instead entered a pasture where they stayed until the son could get some help to get them back to the pasture.  His help arrived and the buffalo were placed back in the pasture.

05-13-08 Cpl. Derek Welch attempted to stop a motorcycle for not having a license plate on highway 1417 west of Sherman.  The driver of the 2007 Suzuki GSXR 600 is a 20-year-old white male who lives in Frisco, Texas.  The driver fled north on U.S. 75 Denison, where he cut through Wal-Mart parking lot then south on U.S. 75. 

Once in Sherman the man exited Loy Lake Road and attempted to evade through the Town Center parking area.  The man then drove south on Travis to Highway 82 west through Grayson County at speeds up to 130 MPH.  The pursuit went into Gainesville and then north on FM 3371, then to west on FM 2886.  The man then wrecked out and was apprehended by Oakridge Police Department and Cooke County Sheriff’s Office. 

The driver then told officers he had failed to stop because he had outstanding parking tickets.  He now faces Evading with a Vehicle, Reckless Driving, Deadly Conduct, No Valid Drivers License and no Insurance.  Bond has not been set and the man will see the judge sometime Wednesday morning.
