He was taken to the Parker County Jail early Sunday morning on a $1,000,000 bond. "We would like to thank the Texas Rangers for their assistance in the investigation," said Sheriff Russ Authier."We would also like to thank Polk County officials and the numerous other agencies for their cooperation and assistance as well.
