Tool police chief quits





The Tool Police Department will be looking for several new police officers, including the top job.


Chief of Police Rickey Feist resigned Feb. 16 without citing the reason, effective immediately. City officials said the abrupt resignation surprised them.


City Secretary Makenzie Lyons said city officials later learned that Feist had taken a job with Henderson County.


Feist’s resignation followed the suspension of police investigator Jenny Engle and police officer Garrett Engle Feb. 3 in an emergency meeting. No reason was given for the suspensions.


Garrett Engle resigned afterwards, and Jenny Engle was fired by the City Council.


Feist went to work for Tool in 2013. The council has not yet named an interim replacement for the chief.


Tool is currently advertising for a police dispatcher.

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 21)

EXCELLENT. stained; 77 degrees; 0.02 feet full pool. The hybrid striped bass and white bass have made a full recovery from the spawn and are now back in the main lake in droves and are on a feeding frenzy! Start looking for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the Dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. Focus on using slabs on drop offs and along seawalls early in the mornings in depth of 5-14 feet. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinners and retrieving off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 17-26 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Shad spawn is nearing an end, but there continues to be a good early shallow bite on and around points and windy shoreline. Drifting in 15-25 feet of water is consistently producing bigger fish. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures. As we enjoy a weekend of fishing we salute and honor our Nation’s heroes this Memorial Day. Anticipate increased recreational boater traffic this weekend.
