Auction nets $1,790
for county's coffers
Hopkins County Sheriff John
E. (Junior) Tittle says that an
auction last Saturday netted
$1,790 for the county.
“That old patrol car really
had some bidders,” Tittle said,
“I understand that the high
bidder (County Auditor Marvin
Stubbs) has already sold it to
Jim Wells who has already sold
it again.”
The 1978 patrol car sold for
$1,225 with Stubbs as the high
bidder after Wells quit bidding
at $1,200 according to Tittle.
The camper trailer that was
sold at auction brought $565
from Billy Bob Meeks.
The trailer had been found
abandoned in the county and the
Sheriff’s Department had to
give the owner a reasonable
time to claim it before it could
be auctioned.
Tittle said that the money will
be held in a special account for
. 90 days before being turned
over to County Treasurer Betty
Green for inclusion in the
general fund.
The patrol car was originally
to have been a trade-in on a new
patrol car but the dealers did
not include a trade-in with their
bids. Members of the Hopkins
County Commissioners Court
accepted the bids and then
instructed the sheriff to include
the car in the public auction.
The proceeds from the car’s
being auctioned will go into the
county’s general fund.
