Man threatens to shoot customers
An employee of Dollar General in Jacksonboro reported a person yelling and threatening people at the store on Nov. 29.
Deputies responding were told the subject brandished a handgun while in the parking lot and threatened to shoot the people at the store.
However, the employee refused to give a complete voluntary statement because, deputies reported, she did not want to come to court.
A second employee said she saw the suspect create a disturbance in the store, but did not see him with the handgun.
The case was recommended closed because of lack of cooperation of the victim.

The church member said the gate was there on Sunday Nov. 24, but when the church member arrived at Nov. 30, the gate was gone.
