Brazos County Staff Answers Questions Before County Commissioners Approve A Drone Detection Contract For The Sheriff’s Office

The county’s purchasing agent, Charles Wendt, and the commission’s general counsel, Bruce Erratt, says the contract is about detecting drones above the jail and not about the sheriff’s office flying drones.

The shoutout from Tim Harkrider included thanks to teachers. Tim Harkrider said anyone who becomes immune to how special the student performance is at both high schools in all categories, should Google other districts with two high schools.

On Thursday (September 19), CSISD announced the crosstown football showdown is sold out.

College Station Police Makes An Arrest In The Aggravated Sexual Assault Of A Woman Over The Age Of 65

College Station police announce an arrest of a man accused of breaking into an apartment last Friday (September 13) and committing an aggravated sexual assault of a woman who is over 65 years old. The CSPD arrest report says the victim awakened to find a stranger in her bedroom. After the man threatens to kill her, he sexually assaults her. When the man leaves the bedroom, the woman locks the bedroom door, starts yelling, and hits the bedroom window so hard it breaks. Neighbors who heard the noise call 9-1-1. While the man got away from last Friday’s attack, he was arrested Thursday (September 18) on charges of burglary of a habitation with the intent to commit a sex offense, aggravated sexual assault, and evidence tampering. The CSPD arrest report says 27 year old Various McNeal lives in the same apartment complex as the victim. He was identified by a fingerprint that was found on the window he used to enter the victim’s apartment. McNeal is jailed in lieu of bonds totaling $958,000 dollars.
