Monday, March 30, 2026 10:41PMTexas Rangers confirmed to ABC13 that they have an active and open investigation into Magnolia Mayor Matthew "Doc" Dantzer following allegations of assault against the city's secretary.
Gable told her fiancé what happened last October during an out-of-town work conference with Mayor Dantzer. Emery said Gable, who was pregnant at the time, told him the mayor was walking her back to the hotel. "He's like, 'Well, that only means one thing, once they get past the belly, they come off easier, and he reaches over there and tries to pull her pants down,'" Emery said. Next, he said his fiancée threatened to kill the mayor, and when they got back to the hotel, Emery said the mayor went a step further towards Gable. "He turns around and says this is how he needs to deal with you and grabs her by the throat and pins her up - there's these big silver pillars in front of valet - pins her up against this pillar in front of the valet, she fights her off, turns around and yells at the valet people 'nobody seen that, nobody's going to do anything,'" Emery said. ABC13 reached out to the attorney representing Mayor Dantzer. He sent ABC13 a statement denying the allegations and saying Dantzer looks forward to defending himself through the legal process."I'm really hoping they get everything they need and get him off the streets pretty soon," Emery said.
