‘It’s a wild thing’ happens upon New Caney community with dental-mold filled potholes

NEW CANEY, Texas (KTRK) — A story with some bite to it that you can only see on.

A New Caney neighborhood has been plagued with dreaded potholes, only to fill them with something other than asphalt: dental mold.

But after a few calls by Eyewitness News, what was there has been adequately replaced.

A viewer who asked to remain anonymous contacted about the dental mold-filled potholes on Friday. He said they had existed on Comer Reinhart Road, a road behind a new subdivision, for years.

Montgomery County Precinct 4 Commissioner Matt Gray’s Office. They said they were still determining if Comer Reinhart was a county road but planned to send a road work crew out to evaluate.

captured when a crew arrived, removed the molds, and filled the holes with asphalt within an hour of the call.

“It’s a wild thing to dump there, but if you’ve got a bunch of extra molds, ” Levi Heasley said. He had his suspicions as to who may.

“To me, it’s kind of obvious,” he explained.

Roman Forest Police Chief Stephen Carlisle told his department spoke with a dental professional who owns property running along the fence. He did not deny dumping the molds but said the road was also his property – something the county was working to verify.

“Someone who had that material must have felt they were helping, I guess,” Carlisle explained.

Gray’s office told the last time they received a complaint about the road was in 2017. That complaint was not pothole-related.
