The Infinity driver was pointed eastbound, stopped at a red light in the right lane of West Henderson Street. The driver of a Ford Taurus, also stopped at the light, was pointed westbound on West Henderson Street in the left turn lane.

The Infinity entered the intersection when the light turned green. The driver of the Taurus did the same, intending to turn onto Faircrest Drive but failing to yield right-of-way and striking the Infinity.

A single-vehicle wreck in the 700 block of North Brazos Avenue on Monday resulted in arrests of the driver and passenger.

The accident, involving a Dodge Caravan, occurred about 9:50 p.m.

The driver was traveling north on Brazos Avenue at a high rate of speed approaching Farm-to-Market Road 4. She disregarded a stop sign, traveled through the intersection into a ditch, became airborne and struck a fire hydrant. Coming out of the ditch, the Dodge once again went airborne and struck a pole holding three mailboxes before it landed and came to rest on South Brazos Avenue.

Neither occupant suffered injury, but a witness identified Dorothy Lee Wilson, 52, of Cleburne as the driver. Police arrested her on a charge of driving while intoxicated. The passenger, Robert James Hibbler Jr., 62, of Cleburne was arrested on a charge of public intoxication.



Robbery update

Justice of the Peace Pct. 1 Ronny McBroom on Wednesday magistrated a Cleburne man charged with aggravated robbery.

An early Tuesday morning traffic stop led to the arrest of Bruce Washington, 22.

Police initially charged Washington with possession of marijuana and outstanding Cleburne traffic tickets. They called detectives to the scene, however, since Washington matched the description of the person suspected in the Sept. 18 robbery of Big Willy’s on East Henderson Street.

In that robbery, a man entered the store shortly after midnight armed with a gun and demanded money from the clerk.

Police were able to identify Washington based on a description supplied by the victim and video from the store’s surveillance cameras, Cleburne Sgt. Amy Knoll said.

McBroom set Washington’s bail at $100,000 on the aggravated-robbery charge and $500 on the marijuana charge. Washington remains jailed at the Johnson County Law Enforcement Center. McBroom was unable to magistrate Washington on Tuesday because police were still interviewing him.

The driver of the car Washington was riding in, Prabhat Singh Katuwal, 22, of Cleburne, was also arrested after police found him to be in possession of a stolen handgun.

McBroom magistrated Katuwal on Tuesday morning on the charge of theft of a firearm and set his bail at $5,000. Katuwal has since bonded out of jail, McBroom said Wednesday.
