News out of San Augustine is that San Augustine County District Attorney Kevin Dutton has dropped charges against a man and woman that were charged in connection with a church dispute in the county.

Dutton said after a jury found Margie Coffee not guilty of improperly executing a church deed, there was no reason to purse convictions against Terry Bishop and Ethel Husband.

All three were indicted on felony fraud charges in 2012, which dates back to 2011 when Coffee and her cousin Betty Clark decided to re-organize the Gloryland Pentecostal Church, which sits on land their grandparents deeded to the church.
