And the College Station council will consider similar action at its April 23rd meeting. The resolution mentions I-14 and the I-214 loop around Bryan and College Station. Nicknamed the “forts to ports” corridor, I-14 and eight loops and spurs will connect a dozen military facilities from multiple locations in west and south Texas and the Georgia coast.

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.

Minor Injuries To A College Station Police Officer While Keeping A 60 Year Old Man Outside A Business

A College Station police post on its Facebook page provides some of the circumstances where an officer sustained minor injuries after being struck by a 60 year old intoxicated man who was upset that Grand Station Entertainment did not want him in their business. The CSPD arrest report says the man did not accept the officer’s explanation that the business could ask him to leave for any reason and the man wanted to re-enter the business to speak with the manager. As two officers were attempting to place handcuffs on the man, one of the officers did what the arrest report describes as a “body lock take down”. That caused the man and one officer to fall to the ground. After the officer was struck three times in the head, the man was tased in the back and officers forced the man onto his stomach and wrestle his hands out from under his chest to place him into handcuffs. The arrest report does not mention if the officer who fell and was struck received medical treatment. CSPD’s Facebook page said the officer sustained minor injuries. Eugene Carney of Bryan was arrested Tuesday night (April 14) on charges of public intoxication, assaulting the officer, resisting arrest, and criminal trespassing. As of April 17, he remains jailed in lieu of bonds totaling $24,000 dollars.
