The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an incident at the Ernest Brown American Legion in Caney.

Deputies were called to the American Legion at 1607 Highway 75 around 1:45am Saturday morning for a reported fight and possible stabbing. Detectives say at least one person suffered injuries consistent with being cut by a sharp object and was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Investigators say they are aware of social media rumors and allegations involving City of Caney employees allegedly being at the location that night. However, the Sheriff’s Office says the investigation is being handled solely by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Detectives Division and the Caney Police Department is not involved.

In a separate statement, the City of Caney says it is aware of the allegations and online discussions, but says the incident happened outside the city’s jurisdiction and that city officials have not been provided with official findings or conclusions from investigators. The city also urged the public to avoid spreading misinformation while the investigation continues. Sheriff Ron Wade says the public should allow detectives time to complete a thorough and impartial investigation.
