Kevin Wolton has been jailed for 16 months A DRUNKEN lout who bit and stamped on his new girlfriend has been jailed – after a judge pulled stumps on the man’s deferred sentence. Kevin Wolton had not long been released from prison when he struck up a relationship with the woman as they stayed in the same bed and breakfast in April last year. Their five-day relationship ended on April 29 after Wolton subjected his new partner to a prolonged assault in which he stamped on her head and bit her ankle. Last November, Judge Peter Crabtree deferred sentence for six months after hearing that the 38-year-old defendant was remorseful, had beaten an alcohol addiction while on remand and was committed to changing his ways.

Citing an increase in visitors not wearing masks, Round Rock Public Library Director Michelle Cervantes this week reminded patrons that they must wear face coverings inside the library. We have had occasions where folks don t want to wear their mask, or they only cover their mouth but not their nose, Cervantes said. We ask that people must wear a mask and have them be worn properly when inside our building.
An ordinance passed unanimously by the City Council on June 29 requires those ages 10 and older to wear face coverings in public places when social distancing is not possible. It also requires businesses to display a notice of the requirement.
Many years ago, I was block walking in the Stone Oak subdivision in Northwest Round Rock. At the time, I was living in Southeast Round Rock. One resident told me, “It seems like you live so far from where I live – why can’t we have a downtown where we can meet and gather?”
Even as our city grows, downtown serves as a reminder of what makes Round Rock unique. Whether it’s meeting friends over a relaxed meal, shopping or doing business with local entrepreneurs or making memories with our families, downtown represents so many ways that we can stay connected as a community.
