Often times law enforcement and first responders run into situations they may not be wholly trained for. Many times calls come in about an individual acting odd, or just walking about with no real direction. When these calls come in, departments must respond to find out if the individual is alright.

Chief Deputy Kevin Roach has run into this issue before; so through some checking and informational classes in Young County, he along with the sheriff's department and the blessing of Sheriff Holt, they have decided to start the “The Take Me Home” program.

A Breckenridge man was convicted for repeat offenses regarding burglary over the last several months. He will serve 30 years in prison at the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Prison, according to officials.

Adam Reeve, 39, confessed to the burglary of a home within the city of Breckenridge that occurred back in August of this year, according to a press release from the Stephens County Sheriff’s Office. On Aug. 13, the office responded to a burglary. One of the officers found shoe prints.

The Woman's Forum kicked off the new year with a program presented by Sheriff Will Holt, who led a discussion about self defense.

"In today's climate it is important to be more aware of our surroundings," Holt said. "Check where the exits are for this Forum building, your churches, schools or other meeting places. Be aware of your surroundings."
