WEATHERFORD — Three men were arrested last week by the Parker County Sheriff’s Office Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team on felony warrants for Texas tax code violations, according to the Parker County Sheriff’s Office.

The Texas Comptroller’s Office Criminal Investigation Division requested the help of the FAST team in locating and arresting the three men.

General Hughlett Carothers, 56, was arrested June 20 at his residence in northeast Parker County on a Travis County warrant involving motor fuel tax violations and later released on $10,000 bond.

Kenneth Wayne Moore Jr., 32, was arrested June 20 at his automotive repair business on Newsom Mound Road on a similar warrant and released from the Parker County jail on $10,000 bond.

Christopher Calva Jr., of Fort Worth, was reportedly located in Fort Worth and arrested by Parker County FAST, the Fort Worth Police Department Fugitive Unit and the United States Marshal Service.

Further information was not available Thursday from the Texas Comptroller’s Office.

Texas, underground
The Natural Bridge Caverns take “deep in the heart of Texas Hill Country” to a whole new meaning. With depths reaching 260 feet underground, it is Texas’ largest-known cavern and consistently ranks as one of the state’s top tourist destinations. Discovered in 1960 by students at St. Mary’s University, the cavern, located just west of New Braunfels, has delighted visitors for decades with lantern-led tours, archaeological gems, and natural formations like “soda straw” stalactites occurring along hidden passages.
