Brazos County commissioners adopt a policy to pay expenses when there is a groundbreaking, open house, or ribbon cutting of a county owned building. The county’s chief of staff Ed Bull said the subject came up during discussion of the future ceremonial groundbreaking of the medical examiner’s office. Bull also said the contractor in charge of the medical examiner’s project has budgeted money for the groundbreaking. County auditor Katie Conner said those outside the county who want to contribute paying for those events will have to complete a donation form and present it to commissioners for adoption. Following the discussion, there was unanimous approval to pay expenses from a budget item titled commissioners court events and funds. A written version of the policy was not part of materials associated with the county commission’s adoption at their November 26th meeting. Commissioners approved what the agenda said was “Approval of the expenditure of funds for recurring costs of consumables and rentals as well as one-time costs and future replacements associated with Groundbreakings, Open Houses, and Ribbon Cuttings of County Owned Buildings which will cover the event and those in attendance. The Brazos County Commissioners Court finds this serves the public purpose of providing notice to citizens and other governmental entities of the future services that will be provided within the community and recognizes the hard work and partnerships of the employees and officials within the county involved in the project. This expenditure approval is limited to Commissioners Court Events and Funds.” Click below to hear comments from the November 26, 2024 Brazos County commission meeting.

Texas A&M police arrested one man for selling two fake tickets for the A&M-Texas football game for $900 dollars and throwing away five more fake tickets. This happened near Pickard’s Pass, which is the tunnel going under Wellborn Road by Kyle Field. 57 year old Bruce Suares of Inglewood Texas remained in jail as of December 2nd in lieu of bonds totaling $14,000 dollars. The arrest report said the officer recognized the tickets as fake because the back of the tickets contained University of Texas logos. Texas A&M police arrested a New Jersey man for attempted theft and criminal trespassing related to selling fake tickets. The arrest report says 28 year old Velasquez Naranjo pushed his way through the ticket gate to enter the stadium. He was followed by two women who told the arresting officer they paid $250 dollars apiece to Naranjo to get into the game using SEC wristbands as tickets. The money was returned to the women. The arrest report also says Naranjo had a two way radio, which led officers to believe he was working with other individuals who were scamming other people wanting to get into the game. Naranjo is out of jail after posting bonds totaling $4,000 dollars. During Saturday’s game, Texas A&M police arrested two men after getting in the game without tickets.

More than four hours before kickoff of Saturday’s Texas A&M-Texas football game, multiple College Station police officers respond to the report of a loud party near the campus. A post on CSPD’s Facebook page estimated the crowd at 600 on Aurora Court, a dead end street which is located between A&M Consolidated Middle School and the Grace Bible Church Anderson campus. The post said the unauthorized and pre-planned party organized by A&M fraternities had live bands, food vendors, portable restrooms, and a significant amount of alcohol. Organizers applied but were denied a city special events permit for reasons that includes safety and logistical concerns. One of the organizers was arrested for violating a city ordinance. 22 year old Walker Lanier of College Station was released after posting a $300 dollar bond on the municipal court charge. Several others were arrested on various charges as officers worked to disperse the crowd and restore order to the area. The CSPD Facebook post said it took several hours to clear partygoers from the neighborhood, which was left littered with trash. CSPD’s arrest report identified the participating fraternities as Kappa Sigma, Sigma Chi, Pi Kappa Alpha, and Delta Tau Delta. After the game, CSPD officers returned to break up a second party that was attended by an estimated 250 people.
