City Of Bryan Response To International Criticism Of Its Animal Services Department

One Bryan resident files 13 complaints alleging the abuse of the same dog. That’s followed by international criticism directed at the city of Bryan. The city of Bryan issued a response on its social media and website on Wednesday (January 22). The city’s animal services supervisor Ashley Bishop says the owners of the 75 pound dog named “Blue” have done everything required by state and local law. Bishop also says the owners have done everything city officials have asked. The city response also addressed what was described as “misinformation”. Bishop says claims that Blue was being choked by a seat belt are not true. Animal control assisted the dog’s owners to untangle Blue’s collar from the dog’s tether. Bishop says the Bryan animal center has fielded calls from around the state, around the country, and from Canada about Blue.

A College Station man who was convicted of public intoxication in local courts four times last year returns to jail on a new charge of the same offense. The arrest report from College Station police says officers were called Wednesday night (January 22) to a local fast food restaurant on the report of someone yelling and screaming in a manner that was troublesome to those around him. 34 year old Bob Esquivel was also charged with resisting arrest when he blocked officers from searching him. As of January 23, Esquivel remains jailed in lieu of bonds totaling $6,000 dollars. The CSPD arrest report says Esquivel was convicted in College Station municipal court of public intoxication in February and August of 2024.
