Trial scheduled in aggravated assault, endangering child case
A Hunt County man, who already has been convicted of a list of felonies, including two armed robberies, is now facing trial on four more felony indictments.
Jury selection is scheduled in the 196th District Court Monday in the trial of Jack O’Neil Hargrove, 45, of Quinlan.
Hargrove was indicted by the Hunt County grand jury in May on two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and three indictments for abandoning or endangering a child. He has pleaded not guilty.
Hargrove was alleged to have used a motor vehicle to cause bodily injury to a female victim on June 23, 2008. Three children under 15 years of age were inside the female victim’s vehicle, which Hargrove was alleged to have rear-ended with his automobile.
The indictment against Hargrove lists five prior felony convictions; including two for aggravated robbery, one from Rockwall County in 1986 and the other from Hunt County in 1991. Hargrove has also been convicted of burglary of a habitation in Dallas County in 1990, for felony DWI in Dallas County in 1997 and for possession of a controlled substance in Hunt County in 2001.
