An employee with a restaurant in the 100 block of Country Club Road called police after noting a back door handle broken off and all of the money missing.

Upon the officer’s arrival, the music had stopped. It was the second time the homeowner had called about the loud music that was originating from a Young Life meeting on Hickory Hill Road. The officer advised those attending the meeting to keep the music down for the next few weeks. Another noise complaint was called in several days later, prompting police to tell the person in charge of the Young Life meeting to turn the music down.

Argyle police responded to a 911 help alert at Argyle High School off Hwy 377. Upon their arrival, they learned that an unknown person had manually pressed in the 911 alert. The button was reset and officers checked the building, finding no criminal activity. Officials at the high school indicated they would check to see who caused the alert.
