A Bryan man with multiple nicknames who has been on parole for two months for burglary of a habitation is arrested by College Station police for hiding a gun under a blanket in a bunk bed where two children were sleeping. CSPD arrest reports say officers responded to a woman who texted 9-1-1 reporting she was trying to get out of her apartment because 30 year old Billy Earl Anderson III had a gun and was being aggressive. Anderson was arrested for possessing a gun as a convicted felon and child endangerment. Anderson’s nicknames listed in online jail records are Bleeder, Lil Ransom the Block, Hunter, The Ghost, Keeper, and Tear Drop The Zoo. As of April 3rd, Anderson remains in jail in lieu of bonds totaling $65,000 dollars. Seven College Station police officers respond to an emergency call that turned out to be a false report. That led to the arrest of a 22 year old Bryan man. CSPD arrest reports says Samuel Xavier Reyes is accused of calling 9-1-1 reporting he had been hit with a bat when all that happened was a verbal altercation with a woman who left the scene. The woman who drove away was later arrested for DWI with three children under the age of eight in the back seat who were not in child seats. The driver had breath alcohol samples of .10 and .091. The arrest report does not say who took custody of the children when 22 year old Sabrina Chavez of College Station was taken to jail. Chavez is out of jail after posting a $10,000 dollar bond. Reyes is out of jail after posting a $5,000 dollar bond.
Two hours at Thursday night’s meeting (April 2) of the College Station planning and zoning commission (P&Z) was spent on two items drawing multiple public comments. Both items have been before P&Z before, and both items will be considered at the April 9th city council meeting. Almost 90 minutes was spent before a three to three vote denying a recommendation to remove from the city’s comprehensive plan, a future extension of Pebble Creek Parkway between the Pebble Creek and Southern Pointe neighborhoods. The removal was sought by Pebble Creek homeowners. Click HERE to read and download background information about the future extension of Pebble Creek Drive.

Texas A&M posts on its social media, investigating a report of antisemitism. A university spokesman says this involves an Aggie student who films himself harassing and disparaging Jewish students and telling them to leaving the United States. The investigation was the result of a X/Twitter post by a watchdog organization called StopAntisemitism that includes a video of the offending student. Statement from Texas A&M’s X/Twitter account: Texas A&M University condemns antisemitism and all forms of hate. Actions in which people seek to target or intimidate members of our community stand in direct conflict with our core values and our expectations of conduct. We are actively investigating a recent situation and will approach it with the seriousness it deserves, as we do with all concerns involving potential violations of our policies. Statement from the X/Twitter account of StopAntisemitism: Yousef Mahdy-student at @TAMU @tamusystem-films himself harassing Jewish students, calling them “stinky Zionists”, “stinky scum”, & screaming “Free Palestine”. He then tells them to get the hell out of our country. Why is this harassment allowed @Glenn_Hegar?
