Witnesses Needed in Parker County Car Wreck
Parker County - Weatherford - Car Wreck
From the Weatherford Democrat:
Few witnesses report grim crash

Weatherford Police are encouraging anyone who witnessed a disturbing collision which left a father, 49, and his 8-year-old son in critical condition Tuesday to come forward.
Authorities say a number of motorists probably saw what happened. Prosecutors often rely on witness testimony.
“That intersection is crazy busy and I know there had to be more witnesses than what we had,” Weatherford Police Det. Wendy Field said.
The collision took place in the middle of one of Weatherford’s busiest intersections shortly before 6 p.m., when people are driving home from work.
The father and son were traveling on South Bowie Drive in a silver, two-door Honda Accord when they were hit by a man police believe was driving while intoxicated.
Both the child and his father were listed in critical condition Thursday, though the boy is now reportedly responsive.
After receiving treatment for non-life threatening injuries at an area hospital, the man police say caused the accident, Joshua Alvey, 28, was charged with two counts of intoxication assault with a vehicle/serious bodily injury, and one count of evading arrest or detention with a vehicle.
Alvey reportedly told police he departed his place of employment and consumed alcohol alone in a parking lot near the scene of the accident.
A short time later, citizens reported witnessing a blue Hyundai Santa Fe smash into at least two unoccupied vehicles.
Authorities chased the blue Hyundai, driven by Alvey, east into Hudson Oaks until he turned around and traveled back through Weatherford, eventually colliding with the Honda Accord at the intersection of South Bowie Drive, Ranger Highway, Mineral Wells Highway and North Bowie Drive.
Police believe Alvey is a former resident of Weatherford, though he currently resides in Bridgeport.
He remains in the Parker County Jail with bond set at $37,500.

Monroe Louisiana Attorney -- Monroe Louisiana Sexual Assault Battery
From the Shreveport Times
MONROE — A former youth mentor has been sentenced to a total of 24 years in prison on three counts of sexual battery of a juvenile. State Judge Carl Sharp ordered the three, eight-year sentences to run consecutively.
Sharp rendered his sentence Thursday after hearing emotional pleas from the fathers of two of the victims who asked the judge to give 26-year-old Jeremy Little the maximum of 30 years.
The fathers said their sons were given liquor and then drugged before they were molested by Little.
At the time of his arrest in January, Sterlington Police Chief Barry Bonner said Little was serving as a youth mentor at the Assembly of God Church of Sterlington and was residing with an associate pastor.

WEATHERFORD — The driver who caused a major accident Tuesday has been identified by Weatherford Police.
Authorities arrested 28-year-old Joshua Alvey of Bridgeport on charges relating to a pursuit which ended in a crash that sent a father and son to area hospitals with “life-threatening injuries.”
Late Tuesday afternoon, Weatherford Police officers were dispatched to the area of 100 South Lamar Street regarding a complaint of an intoxicated driver. While officers were being dispatched, authorities received two complaints of hit and run accidents involving the same suspect vehicle. Those accidents were minor with no injuries reported.
Weatherford officers located the vehicle on Fort Worth Highway and attempted stop the driver. Alvey reportedly failed to yield and led officers on a pursuit east to Hudson Oaks. Reports say he then turned around and headed back westbound into Weatherford.
As officers continued to pursue him, Alvey allegedly continued westbound until he reached the intersection of Palo Pinto Street and South Bowie Drive, where he struck a silver Honda Accord two-door. The momentum of the impact carried both vehicles through the intersection into a third vehicle.
The Honda was occupied by an 8-year-old child and his 49-year-old father. The child was transported by CareFlite helicopter from the scene to Cook Children’s Hospital and his father was transported by ambulance to JPS Hospital. According to WPD, both the father and son suffered critical injuries. A 40-year-old female in the third vehicle was transported by ambulance with non-life threatening injuries.
“This was a very severe accident that resulted in very critical injuries to several of the victims involved,” Lt. Chris Crawford stated. “The investigation will take several days and the suspect will likely be charged with several felony offenses as a result of his reckless actions.”
Alvey appeared to have non-life threatening injuries and was transported by ambulance to Harris Hospital in Fort Worth. He was later released into the custody of Weatherford Police Department.
Alvey was arrested and charged with two counts of intoxication assault with a vehicle causing serious bodily injury and evading arrest. He was taken to the Parker County Jail.
