For five of its eight years in operation, BFD station two north of Villa Maria and west of Texas has had temporary air conditioning equipment at a cost of almost $460,000 dollars. Surplus money in the city’s general fund will be spent on the unbudgeted cost. It is expected that the new HVAC (heating/ventilation/air conditioning) system will be running by July of 2027. Background information says the city is bearing the cost after consulting with external legal and subject matter experts. That followed unsuccessful attempts to get the building’s original architect and contractor to resolve the problems.
A Houston man will spend at least four months in prison after College Station police find in his home two years ago, what was described as a shrine to the patron saint of drug traffickers. Online records show 24 year old David Acosta and the Brazos County district attorney’s office reached a plea agreement on felony possession of marijuana. Acosta could be released from a ten year prison sentence after serving 120 days of what is called shock probation. A WTAW News story at the time of Acosta’s arrest referred to his arrest report from March of 2024, saying a shrine to Jesus Malverde included money offerings and pre rolled marijuana blunts. Officers seized 11 and a half pounds of marijuana, enough THC in various forms to fill at least 300 vape pens, almost $3,200 dollars in cash, and two handguns.
