– Van Zandt County deputies have arrested a suspect in the brutal beating of 89 year old World War II veteran CD Whittington, of Wills Point.
21-year-old Jonathan Coffman is charged with aggravated robbery and was also wanted on a warrant for a parole violation. Coffman, also of Wills Point, was located by authorities in Myrtle Springs.
Investigators say Coffman bragged to his friends about beating up an old man and stealing his medications.
