Bryan ISD officials say a disturbance during Friday’s (March 21) fourth grade track and field meet at Merrill Green stadium resulted in an arrest. A BISD news release says no one was injured and a man was arrested for making a terroristic threat. The BISD release said the man who administrators said threatened to shoot several bystanders. The man was not in possession of any weapons. The man was taken into custody by Bryan police school resource officers. Bryan police identified the man who was arrested as 29 year old John Villalpando of Bryan. Online jail records show Villalpando was charged with three counts of making a terroristic threat causing fear of imminent serious bodily injury. Friday’s arrest marks his 13th booking in the Brazos County jail since October of 2013. Villalpando was arrested Tuesday (March 18) and released Wednesday (March 19) after posting bond on a charge of not having vehicle insurance. At the time of Friday’s arrest, a spokeswoman in the Brazos County district attorney’s office confirmed that Villalpando was on probation for felony evading arrest with a vehicle in an incident that took place in June 2017.

The Bryan police department is advising motorists of the city’s first intersection involving a median that no longer allows a right turn on a red light. Officer Seth Waller says the first location is by the post office, affecting motorists making a right turn from Nash to William Joel Bryan (WJB) towards the freeway. Waller says that’s because WJB traffic headed towards downtown can make a U-turn at Nash. Waller says officers have been issuing warnings. Speaking on March 20, 2025, Waller said officers will start issuing tickets in about a week or so. Click below to hear comments from Seth Waller, visiting with WTAW’s Bill Oliver.
