The armed guard, 29-year-
old Henry Jackson of Mabank,
told officers he was on duty in
the 600 block of South Royal
Lane when he was overtaken by
several suspects, who took his
gun, bound his hands behind his
back and put him in the back of
his vehicle. The suspects then
entered the business and stole an
undetermined amount of prop-
erty. Jackson was able to free
himself and flee the scene, but
not before the suspects fired a
handgun at him. He was not hit

When Traci Johnson heard
someone say her name during
a raffle drawing at Southern
Living At HOME’s national
convention in Indianapolis in
June, she didn’t think they
meant her.
“It was just this random
drawing,” Johnson said. “All
of a sudden I heard them say
Traci Johnson of ‘Co-pel'
Texas... I thought they were
talking about some other Traci
Johnson... sure enough it was
me.”
Even if the announcer
couldn’t pronounce her home
town right, Traci didn’t mind—
she had just won a brand new
Lexus SUV.
“It was a really neat thing,”
said Johnson, an 11-year
Coppell resident and consult-
ant for Southern Living at

Lock-Bumping Info Posted
After Lewisville Burglaries
Fall Festival, Huge Tent Sale Set for
October 6 in Old Town Coppell
By Jane Moore
The City of Coppell is re-
minding residents to be aware
of a burglary technique called
“lock bumping” after at least 20
apartments were burglarized in
southern Lewisville last week.
Lock bumping is a lock-
picking technique that involves
a specially cut key and a small
hammer or handle of a screw-
driver to tap the key while turn-
ing it, moving the pins as needed
to open the lock.
Police said it’s hard to mea-
sure the prevalence of lock
bumping because there is vir-
tually no difference between a
lock that has been bumped,
picked or simply left unlocked.
According to David
Doehling of Lock Doctors in
Lewisville, lock bumping is not
as easy as it looks on Internet
videos, and it is noisy. He said
apartments are probably more
susceptible to lock bumping
than houses because thieves
