Bryan Man With Three First Names Admits In One District Court Appearance To 22 Crimes Over The Last Six Years

A Bryan man who makes one court appearance to plead guilty to one felony and 21 misdemeanor crimes will not have to serve additional time in jail or prison. Thursday’s appearance (December 4) wraps up 18 cases on charges dating back to May of 2019. A plea agreement with the man identified in court records as either Marcellious, Mercellious, or Mercellous McGee includes barring prosecution on 14 counts of misdemeanor possession of marijuana and three counts of driving with an invalid license with a prior conviction. McGee was sentenced to 60 days in the Brazos County jail for resisting arrest, criminal trespassing, and two counts of unlawful carrying of a weapon. But the judge credited McGee with time served from his previous trips in jail. And he was placed on four years of probation for felony evading arrest with a prior conviction. McGee’s court appearance was the week after the 34 year old man was booked in jail for the 57th time in almost 17 years. The Bryan police arrest report says on November 28th, McGee took 15 minutes to get out of his car which was stopped for unconfirmed insurance. McGee was also taken to jail on eight warrants from Bryan municipal court. Jail records show he paid $6,600 dollars in fines from the municipal court warrants. He was released from jail after paying those fines and posting bonds totaling $4,600 dollars on new charges of resisting arrest, having no drivers license and possessing drug paraphernalia.

College Station City Council Discusses Bee Creek Flooding For The Second Time In Five Months

For the second time in five months, the College Station city council hears about flooding along Bee Creek in the Emerald Forest neighborhood east of the freeway. During the one hour update at the council’s November 24th meeting, public works director Emily Fisher said staff has contacted private landowners in an effort to clear debris in the creek and a regional detention pond. It was also the second time in five months that homeowners in Emerald Forest thanked the council and staff and also asked for additional attention. One of the speakers, David Higdon said the city needs to address additional pressure on Bee Creek by among things, the expansion of the freeway, the new Church of Christ, and the future construction of a new College Station ISD administration building. Fisher said she was told by TxDOT that the freeway expansion will not add or decrease the amount of drainage on Bee Creek. This year’s College Station city budget includes $740,000 dollars for drainage improvements along Bee Creek. There is another $750,000 to be spent on a yet to be determined drainage project. And councilmembers were told that staff is waiting for the receipt of a $150,000 dollar state grant that will prioritize where to conduct flood studies in College Station watersheds.
