Proposed Building Regulations Headed to Bryan Council

A man was arrested after police found him sleeping inside a car parked in Brian Bachmann Park after hours. College Station Police say they observed the car around 2:00am on Tuesday morning. 40-year-old Cory Jamaine Ozoeze, of Houston, was asleep in the driver’s seat with a child in his lap. Officers had to tap the window several times before they could awake Ozoeze from his slumber. They observed that the man was sweating profusely even though the ambient temperature was approximately 63 degrees at the time. Ozoeze appeared disoriented, spoke slowly, and had a disconnected gaze consistent with PCP intoxication. The child’s mother later arrived on foot and told officers she and the man had been dating for a few months. A search of Ozoeze’s vehicle uncovered a bottle containing liquid PCP weighing approximately 11.8 grams. Officer also recovered 4.2 grams of crack cocaine. He was charged with two counts of Possession of a Controlled Substance (Penalty Group 1/1-B, 4-200 grams) and Endangering a Child with Criminal Negligence. Ozoeze remains jailed on $65,000 bond.

Trump announced the arrival of the first million barrels of oil secured by the Trump Administration as part of the President’s historic Venezuela oil deal—with all oil coming into America at no cost to the United States or the American taxpayer. This first shipment of oil will be refined in the Lone Star State, supporting American jobs, and increasing domestic supply to lower Americans’ prices at the pump. From Alaska to Texas, President Trump is unleashing America’s energy dominance—making the Western Hemisphere the energy capital of the world—and Americans will benefit as gasoline and diesel prices come plummeting down! President Trump’s bold foreign policy is driving America First wins: this deal more than doubles our strategic reserves—delivering 65 billion barrels in total, dramatically bolsters our oil supply, and helps deliver lower gas prices for the American people—costing taxpayers nothing! No other President and no other Administration could deliver such historic results for the American people. President Trump continues to secure major deals to unleash energy dominance and reverse the Democrats’ failed anti-energy and Green New Scam policies to cut energy costs for all Americans.
