Converse News

Two recently retired state troopers won't be without jobs long since voters have given them the top lawman's position in their home parishes.

Crime Stoppers of Sabine, Inc. officials on Tuesday that the reward for information about the 2009 murder of 36-year-old Dennis Ray Hall has been raised from up to $5,000 to up to $10,000. Hall was shot in the yard of his Converse home while hunting armadillos in the late evening hours of June 21, 2009.

State Police Troop G investigators suspect an unspecified impairment as the cause of a single-vehicle wreck that claimed the life of a Sabine parish man in DeSoto Parish early today.
