We are saddened to hear the news of the passing of one of our former Chiefs, John E. Hunt Sr. John was born April 3rd, 1944. John enlisted in the U.S. Army in the early 1960’s right out of high school and established a distinguished record of service that included overseas duty in Germany and 2 tours of combat duty in Vietnam with the 173rd Airborne Brigade & the 5th Special Forces Group. After retirement from the Army, John began his career in law enforcement around 1985.

John’s law enforcement journey brought him through many different law enforcement agencies including: four different Sheriff’s Offices, two college police departments, four different municipal police departments, as well as a stint with a state regulatory agency.

John, having previously served on the economic development board for our city, was first hired by our department in May of 2011. By November of that same year, he was promoted to Chief of Police, and served in that capacity until March of 2014, when he stepped down to reserve status, and continued to serve under the leadership of his successor. John resigned from TBPD in January of 2017 after having served this community for a combined total of 5 years and 8 months.

At the time of his departure, John resigned after accepting a law enforcement position with another law enforcement agency. Most recently, John held a commission with the Fannin County Constable’s Office Pct. 3 and was still serving part time as a Deputy Constable at the time of his passing. We salute John, and his lifetime of honorable service to his country, and his fellow man. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hunt family in their time of mourning. May he rest in peace...

POLICE PURSUIT 11/13/2023 – On the morning of Monday, November 13th, 2023, the Tom Bean Police Department responded to the report of a theft of alcoholic beverages at Tom Bean Food located at 118 N. Britton Street, this city.

After a brief search, the suspect was located operating a vehicle in the area, and the suspect fled as a traffic stop was attempted. Shortly thereafter, a pursuit was declared, and Deputies with the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office assisted. The pursuit, which began here in Tom Bean, eventually passed eastbound through the City of Whitewright, and onward to the City of Trenton in Fannin County where the suspect turned northbound on SH 121. The pursuit continued, eventually joined by a State Trooper and Deputies from Fannin County Sheriff’s Office.

As the pursuit neared the City of Bonham, officers with the Bonham Police Department deployed a spike strip, which created damage to two of the vehicle’s four tires. As the pursuit neared the downtown Bonham area, the suspect vehicle was unable to continue in the pursuit. The suspect, who was identified as Carlos Bowden Jr. (61) of Olney, Texas was taken into custody. Bowden was charged with Evading Arrest or Detention w/ vehicle, and Resisting Arrest, and was booked into the Grayson County Jail.
