The third annual Bulldog 5K and Fun Run saw just over 100 runners come out and run for a great cause. The Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC), partnered with the American Heart Association on the event.

Early in the week, the school was worried about the weather, but Saturday turned out to be a beautiful day and perfect for the runner.

Ritchie Bowling, Howe Assistant Superintendent, said that he was happy with the turnout because of so many other things going on locally.

“We appreciate all the volunteers. We had the Howe Police, HHS Students, athletic department, and many Howe ISD staff and parents ensuring everything went well.” Bowling, who coordinates the event says that they reached their goal of raising $1,000. The 4th annual run will have a new coordinator due to Bowling accepting the superintendent position at Maypearl ISD.

The final results and each runner’s times will be posted early this week on the school’s website at www.howeisd.net

April 8 – At approximately 10:10 pm, Howe Police Officer Jordan Clark arrested a 33-year-old Howe woman for Assault Causing Bodily Injury (Family Violence) after responding to a report of a domestic dispute at a residence in the 1000 block of Swanner Drive. A 33-year-old man reported being assaulted by his wife. He had minor, but visible, marks to support his claim. An emergency protective order was obtained which prohibits the suspect from returning to, or going within 500’ of the residence for 31 days.

April 13 – At approximately 12:10 am, HPD Officer Todd arrested a 40-year-old Lancaster man for possession of methamphetamine. The arrest was the result of a consent search after the suspect was stopped on Hwy 75 for a traffic violation. The suspect’s extreme nervousness led to the officer asking for consent to search. The officer found two baggies of meth in the man’s pants pockets and a glass meth pipe in his vehicle. The suspect was booked into the Grayson County jail.
