HAWKINS, Texas — Hawkins police say a sexual assault that they previously believed happened at a gas station in the city occurred at a Smith County home and remains under investigation.
The Hawkins Police Department said an investigation into the assault that happened in the early morning hours of July 26 later showed the incident did not happen in the city of Hawkins using the victim's cell phone data.
Police previously thought the assault happened while the person was pumping gas at a Hawkins convenience store.
The assault is believed to have involved someone that the victim knew and happened at a Smith County residence, police said. The information is getting forwarded to the proper jurisdiction for further investigation.
"At this time there is no evidence to indicate the citizens of Hawkins are in any danger from a suspect involved in this incident," Hawkins Chief of Police Guy McKee said. "All other details are being withheld to preserve the integrity of the investigation."
