Man Arrested for Public Intoxication and Unlawful Carry of a Weapon
A 21 year-old man from Hempstead was arrested outside a St. Patrick’s Day celebration at Northgate during the midnight hour on Monday. According to the College Station police arrest report, two off duty officers who were working the event, made an arrest on a highly intoxicated person.

TxDOT Announces Temporary Road Closure Tuesday Morning
News release from TxDOT Bryan District Office: Beginning Tuesday morning, March 18th, 2025, at 9 a.m., TxDOT’s contractor, Knife River Corporation, will be placing a large sign for the FM 2818 (Harvey Mitchell Parkway) project that will require the temporary closure of the southbound Wellborn Road (FM 2154) direct connect ramp.

This operation is part of the larger TxDOT FM 2818 (Harvey Mitchell Parkway) project from north of FM 60 (Raymond Stotzer Parkway) to FM 2154 (Wellborn Road), a length of 3.2 miles, for a total cost of $47.6 million. The purpose of this project is to improve safety, enhance capacity and address congestion along FM 2818 (Harvey Mitchell Parkway) by converting the corridor to a “Super Street” design. TxDOT and their contactor appreciate everyone’s patience during this closure.
