Monday’s (October 7) Bryan ISD school board meeting began with memories of the late Bryan High School head football coach and school board member Merrill Green. Ruthie Waller said she attended schools with Green’s three daughters, was hired by Merrill for her first coaching job, and he was the first person she sought for advice when she ran for school board. David Stasny recalled the more than 12 years he served with Merrill on the school board. It was also announced that this Friday’s (October 11) Rudder High football game will include a tribute to Merrill Green, similar to what was done at last Friday’s Bryan High football game at Merrill Green stadium. Tuesday (October 8) is Merrill Green’s celebration of life service. Click HERE to be directed to the Hillier Funeral Home website obituary and link to the live stream of the service.

At least three College Station police officers respond Sunday (October 6) at four in the morning to a man entering vehicles at a new car dealer. Security at College Station Ford called CSPD to report watching on their video system, a man entering vehicles. 37 year old Bradley Dean Smith of Bryan was arrested for evading officers and criminal trespassing. At the time Smith was taken to jail for the 15th time in 17 years, he was out on bond awaiting trial on a charge of family violence assault with a prior conviction. As of October 7, Smith remains jailed in lieu of bonds on the new charges totaling $6,000 dollars. College Station police make an arrest on six charges related to vehicle burglaries and thefts during the last week of September in two neighborhoods. 18 year old Treshawn Booker told officers according to CSPD arrest reports he broke into at least ten vehicles in the Barracks subdivision, stealing a SUV, and eluding an officer. Booker also said that two days later, he broke into a vehicle located in Creek Meadows and took a handgun. The following day, Booker…whose hometown was not listed in jail records…was arrested in Houston for unlawful carrying of a weapon that happened to be the gun that was reported stolen in Creek Meadows. The arrest reports do not say how many of the burglaries involved locked vehicles. Booker, who was transported to the Brazos County jail on September 29th, remains jailed as of October 7th in lieu of bonds totaling $71,000 dollars. College Station police responding last Wednesday (October 2) to the report of a SUV striking a house arrested the driver for DWI. A witness told officers according to the CSPD arrest report they saw the SUV swerve so severely that other drivers had to avoid being hit. Then the SUV struck multiple trash cans and a mailbox before hitting the residence on Nimitz. The driver who was taken to jail, 47 year old Felicia Glover of College Station, failed field sobriety tests and told officers she had drank wine and taken a prescription sleeping pill prior to driving. The arrest report did not say if anyone was inside the home or give the extent of damage to the home. Glover is out of jail after posting a $2,000 dollar bond.
