A custodian at a local elementary school has been arrested on charges of child pornography. 22-year-old Gerardo Antonio Gonzalez was booked into the Brazos County Jail today and was charged with two counts of Possession With Intent to Promote Child Pornography, and one count of Possession of a Controlled Substance (Penalty Group 2, 1-4 grams). He is being held on $100,000 bond. His mugshot is not available at this time. Gonzalez worked as a night-time janitor at Greens Prairie Elementary. He was hired on with the district in February 2025 and was terminated as soon as the district learned of his arrest. Officials with College Station ISD sent this letter to parents this afternoon: “The safety and well-being of our students are our highest priorities at College Station ISD. We also believe that families and staff deserve clear and timely information about matters that affect our community. With that in mind, we want to make you aware of a situation involving a CSISD employee that occurred today. This afternoon, Brazos County Sheriff’s Office notified College Station ISD administration that Gerardo Gonzalez, an evening custodian at Greens Prairie Elementary, has been arrested on charges related to the promotion and possession of child pornography. He has been employed since February 2025 and is terminated effective immediately. The investigation is ongoing, and the district is fully cooperating with law enforcement. There is no indication that any CSISD students were involved in or connected to the alleged conduct.  We understand that this news is unsettling, and we are committed to transparently addressing this situation. Our highest priority is the safety of our students, and we will continue to take all necessary steps to protect them. If the allegations prove true, we encourage the criminal justice system to take every appropriate action. Out of an abundance of caution, the district has completed an internal review of the employee’s district-issued digital records and will conduct a security sweep of the school. These measures are being taken as an additional precaution to help ensure the safety of our students and staff. No findings related to the allegations have been cited within the district at this time.  If you have relevant information, please contact the Brazos County Sheriff’s Office at 979-361-4900. Thank you, College Station ISD Administration”

At Thursday night’s meeting, the College Station City Council will decide whether or not to extend the contract with Flock for the city’s 84 cameras. “Council will consider an agreement not to exceed $158,000 with Flock Group for automatic license plate readers on Texas Department of Transportation roads and a $141,062 agreement for cameras on non-TxDOT roads. The cameras help combat auto theft crimes and assist with identifying vehicles linked to shootings, robberies, kidnappings and other crimes.” College Station decides which agencies can see our shared data. And other agencies must decide whether or not to share their data with the College Station Police Department.
