NEW WAVERLY, Texas – A man who held a woman hostage for hours Monday at a home in New Waverly has surrendered, according to authorities. Lt. Scott Spencer, of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, said 38-year-old Mark Mathison shot a woman in the shoulder when he arrived at the home Monday morning. Authorities at the scene told KPRC 2 about 5:30 p.m. that the man surrendered and that the woman he was holding hostage was safe. Spencer said Mathison is either the current husband or ex-husband of the woman who he took hostage. He said he believes Mathison recently being charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child may have precipitated Monday’s hostage situation.
