A routine traffic stop Sunday
resulted in the recovery of a
vehicle reported stolen in
Florida.
According to Sheriff John
Aston, deputies stopped a 1986
Chevy Blazer exiting Leonard
Park by way of the entrance
road. A check of the vehicle’s
tag number revealed it had
been reported stolen from Ovi-
edo, Fla., on Oct. 15 of this year.
According to Aston, further in-
ventory of the vehicle resulted
in the discovery of drug para-
phernalia.
Joseph William Moger III, 19,
of Oviedo, and Thon Martell
Adamson, 19, of Chuluota, Fla.,
were arrested on charges of
unauthorized use of a motor
vehicle and possession of drug
paraphernalia. Aston said bond
has been set at $3,000 each on
the unauthorized use charge
and at $200 each on the pos-
session charge.
Aston said Tuesday that both
suspects are still in custody

The Cooke County Comm-
issioners Court proceeded with
plans for an emergency 9-1-1
system and discussed progress
on the Cooke County Jail ex-
pansion.
Commissioners adopted a
non-binding resolution to join
other Cooke County comm-
unities in planning a 9-1-1 pro-
gram. So far, Gainesville and
Muenster are the only comm-
unities to approve the plan.
Art Olson, criminal justice/
public safety coordinator for
the Texoma Council of
Governments, presented facts
on the 9-1-1 program. Accor-
ding to Olson, the “easily re-
membered” number provides
immediate access to fire,
police and ambulance services.
The program, which must be on
system throughout the state by
1995, features automatic num-
ber identification (AND, the
minimum level of house ser-
vice. With ANI, the number of
the phone from which the call
originates stays on the com-
puter screen until it is released
by the dispatcher. This pre-
vents the number from being
lost through hanging up.
According to Clson, joining
the 9-1-1 program will cost noth-
ing at this time, and since it is a
non-binding resolution, the
community is free to drop out at
any time. However, if Gaines-
ville does drop out and, at some
future time wants more ser-
vice, it will cost money up front,
Olson said.
A charge of no more than 50
cents per line will probably
take effect after the plan is ap-
proved, and residents and
businesses will begin paying
approximately 18 months be-
fore service begins. There will
be an additional charge of .2
percent for long distance calls.
Olson stated that these funds
will be used to support the 9-1-1
service.
Olson estimated that, with
sick time and vacations, a
minimum of five dispatchers
would be needed to answer one
line. He said that, during nor-
mal working hours, one person
could probably handle the line.
