MCSO: 2 arrested in Rockdale woman's dog mauling death
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Two people were arrested in connection with a Rockdale woman's death following a dog mauling in December 2024, according to the Milam County Sheriff's Office. Arrest warrants were issued for 61-year-old Joel Rubio and 65-year-old Terri Ann Frank on Monday on the second-degree felony charge of attack by dog resulting in death, which is known as Lillian's Law, according to a release from MCSO. KXAN is working to obtain attorney information for Rubio and Frank. We will update this if statements are received. On Dec. 18, 2024, MCSO deputies responded to a home on Beverly Drive around 1:15 p.m., which is just outside the city limits of Rockdale. When deputies arrived at the home, they found a dead woman, who was identified as 88-year-old Delores Woolverton. An autopsy report showed Woolverton's cause of death was a 'Canine Mauling,' according to MCSO. According to the sheriff's office, seven dogs were found on the property at the time of the incident, and they were 'removed and secured.' A Justice of the Peace ordered for the dogs to be euthanized, according to MCSO. According to the investigation, at least one of the dogs involved 'had a prior history of an unprovoked attack against an AMR employee,' which fulfilled the requirements for the definition of a dangerous dog that is described under Lillian's Law.

Bomb threat at Rockdale High School deemed hoax
MILAM COUNTY, Texas (FOX 44) – Authorities continue to investigate what turned out to be a bomb hoax on Tuesday morning. The Milam County Sheriff's Office responded to Rockdale High School, located at 500 Childress Drive, around 7:20 a.m. Tuesday. This was following a phone call to the Rockdale Police Department regarding a bomb threat. Out of an abundance of caution, Rockdale Independent School District administrators had students and staff sent to an alternate location. Deputies then conducted a thorough search of the entire campus using bomb-sniffing dogs. The Sheriff's Office says this search turned up nothing, and it was deemed there was no credible threat to students or staff. The Texas Department of Public Safety began a trace of the number used by the caller, which was found to not be in the area. The Rockdale Volunteer Fire Department also responded to the scene, which was cleared in about two hours. Students were then allowed to return to campus. Milam County Sheriff Mike Clore is reminding the public that even though Tuesday, April 1 is April Fools' Day, this type of threat or hoax is a felony. Deputies, as well as state and federal partners, will continue to investigate and locate the person behind the hoax. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
