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.

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.
