Wise County is expected to witness a remarkable 99.3 percent coverage, with neighbouring counties to the south and east experiencing totality with 100 percent coverage. This rare occurrence is not to be missed!
**DRAMATIC STANDOFF ENDS IN ARREST NEAR NORTHSTAR PARKWAY**
In a high-stakes situation near Northstar Parkway and U.S. 287, the Wise County Sheriff’s Office successfully apprehended a man late Saturday night following a tense standoff. The incident unfolded after a concerned citizen reported a male individual, later identified as 27-year-old Joseph Beverly from Sanger, behaving erratically. Beverly was witnessed yelling, removing his clothes, and brandishing a knife near a “jack-knifed” truck and trailer. Shockingly, he proceeded to stab and inflict severe injuries on a helpless dog. Despite multiple attempts at de-escalation, Beverly barricaded himself inside the vehicle, holding the knife to his neck. The WCSO tactical team intervened and safely took him into custody. Beverly now faces charges of Cruelty to Non-livestock Animals and Resisting Arrest, Search, or Transport. Fortunately, the injured dog received urgent veterinary care and is expected to recover fully.
