Officials with the 8th annual Big Spring Powwow say they are still trying to “drum up” sponsors for the event, which is slated for April 21-22 at the Dorothy Garrett Coliseum.
According to Richard “Indio” Lesser, event coordinator for the Big Spring Powwow Committee, preparations for the powwow are in the works, with just a few key ingredients missing at this point.
Law enforcement officials say the 7-year-old child rescued early Sunday morning near a home in the 4900 block of S. Highway 87 was allegedly restrained using a straight jacket before attempting to run away.
In a press release issued Monday morning, Howard County Sheriff Stan Parker confirmed the boy had told law enforcement officers he was running away from home after having been allegedly restrained using a straight jacket by his parents, who were taken into custody shortly after.
The Big Spring Police Department reported the following activity between 9 a.m. Saturday and 7 a.m. today:
• ANTONIO LIMON IBARRA, 23, of 211 Channing, was arrested Sunday on warrants for expired motor vehicle inspection certificate, driving while license invalid (two counts), failure to appear (four counts) and operating a motor vehicle without license plates – or with one license plate.
• RODNEY JOHNSON, 35, of Wisconsin, was arrested Sunday on a charge of public intoxication.
