All the boys needed to do to
avoid prosecution, a Walmart
management member told them
Sunday, was hand over the mer-
chandise they had stolen and stay
out of the store for 30 days.
The boys — ages 13, 12 and 12 —
said they had given it all back. But
as they were escorted out of the
store, more stolen merchandise fell
officer Gary Villalpando states.
That boy and one of the other
boys said they didn’t know they
still had stolen merchandise on
them. The third boy said he hadn’t
stolen anything but had acted as a
lookout for the other two.
All three were charged with theft
over $500 under $1,500 and engag-
ing in organized criminal activity,
Villalpando’s report states.
The total value of the items —
was $832.
The items that were stolen and
recovered consisted of 19 comput-
er jump drives, four headphones
and a fishing reel.
All three juveniles were released
to their parents on the recom-
mendation of a juvenile probation
officer, Villalpando’s report states.
In an unrelated incident involving
a juvenile, a Brownwood Intermedi-
ate School student was assigned to
temative Education Program for 20
days after an incident Thursday in
which a student pushed a teacher
against a door frame, police said.
In other incidents:
• Officer Doug Hurt was dis-
patched Sunday to the 2100 block
of Eighth, where a man said he
woke up from a nap as his ex-wife
entered his home and assaulted
him.

Howard Payne University is host to
this year’s Christian University The-
atre Festival. The festival began on
Thursday and will continue through
Wednesday. Howard Payne, Hardin-
Simmons, Lubbock Christian and
Wayland Baptist are participating in
this event.
The CUTF was formed around 20
years ago by the theatre directors of
HPU, Hardin-Simmons and Wayland
Baptist as a way to come together,
share a mutual love for theatre and
stage their own productions.
“Our students forge friendships
which begin at CUTF and last for
many years,” said Dr. Nancy Jo Hum-
feld, head of the HPU theatre depart-
ment. “As professors and students,
it is fun to see the same folks in
different roles through the years of
attending CUTF.”
As well as hosting the event, HPU’s
theatre also participated in the festi-
val. Howard Payne presented “Steal-
ing Home,” a comedy about Cecil and
Pug, two thieves who accidentally
break into a funeral home and get a
little more than they bargained for.
Cast members include Gabi Guest,
a sophomore from Midlothian;
Tucker Hull, a junior from Brown-
wood; Hannah Jansen, a sophomore
from Erie, Colo.; Brittany Martin, a
sophomore from Goldthwaite; Ben
Mohundro, a freshman from Frisco;
Jared Russell, a junior from Hills-

Local theater acquired
by Regal Entertainment

BROWNWOOD BULLETIN

On a typical weekend in
Brown County, residents
flock to Hollywood The-
aters to watch the newest
flick on a jumbo screen
in tow with their favorite
snacks and soda. A tradi-
tion that will come to an
end soon — sort of.
On February 19, Regal
Entertainment Group
(REG) announced they had
bought Hollywood Theaters
from chairman and CEO
Scott Wallace, the founder
of Wallace Theater Corp.,
who acquired the Hol-
lywood Theater chain in
1999.
REG bought the chain for
$191 million dollars plus
assuming approximately
$47 million of assumed
lease obligations, com-
prised of capital leases and
financing obligations, and
certain working capital.
The cash portion of the
deal includes repayment of
approximately $157 million
of the sellers’ debt and is
subject to customary post-
closing adjustments, said
REG’s press release.
So what will that mean
for our own local Holly-
wood Theater when Regal
fully acquires the theaters
in the next three months?

Cinemas said that the goal

Commissioners delay action
on Ron Jackson Unit 2 bid
BY STEVE NASH
BROWNWOOD BULLETIN
Steve, nash @ brownwoodbu lletin.com
Brown County Commissioners rejected
one bid Monday and considered another
one — but had too many questions to take
any action — that would allow a security
company to lease a portion of the now-
closed Unit 2 of the Ron Jackson state
school and transform it into a post-adjudi-
cation juvenile lockup facility.
Brown County’s Juvenile Justice Center is
housed within Unit 2.
Commissioners followed County Judge
Ray West’s recommendation to reject a bid
from Phoenix, Ariz.-based Right of Passage
because the company indicated it would
not lease a portion of Unit 2 — which was
conveyed to the county last year — un-
less it could also take over the operation
of Unit 1, which the Texas Juvenile Justice
Department operates as a state school for
girls.
West recommended that commission-
ers reject the Right of Passage bid because
of the company’s requirement that it take
over the Unit 1 operation — an action the
county has absolutely no control over,
West said.
Commissioners spent much more time
discussing the bid of Tampa, Fla.-based
G4S for an initial five-year lease. Commis-
sioners said they will re-agenda the item
for Monday after discussing several issues
ranging from typos in the G4S bid to the
liability the county would face should the
county terminate the lease early.
The county currently uses a portion
of the former Unit 2 building to house
the juvenile probation department and
pre-adjudication holding cells for about
eight juveniles, West said. He said the
pre-adjudication juveniles can be held 48
to 72 hours depending on when they are
