Firefighters from two of College Station’s six fire stations responded to an overnight fire that destroyed the Krispy Kreme doughnuts store. A CSFD spokesman says no one was injured and no one was inside the building. Investigators from CSFD and the state fire marshal’s office spent the day looking through the remains in their attempt to determine a cause. Due to intense flames resulting in a partial collapse of the building, firefighters were not able to get inside. Firefighters responded to a call from an employee of a neighboring restaurant who heard an explosion.
A Brazos County sheriff’s deputy stopping a car last Wednesday (May 8) for a seat belt violation results in a department of public safety investigator searching a College Station motel room. That leads to the arrest of two men with felony criminal records on drug and weapons charges. DPS arrest reports charge 29 year old Keith Janak of Columbus, the person who wasn’t wearing his seat belt, with possessing cocaine, methamphetamine, Oxycodone, Xanax, T-H-C, marijuana, a handgun, and more than 70 items associated with identity theft. Janak remains jailed as of May 13 in lieu of bonds totaling $213,000 dollars. A second man who arrived to pick up Janak’s car was also arrested. 34 year old Tristan Embry of Sealy was charged with possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of a firearm. Embry remains jailed as of May 13 in lieu of bonds totaling $40,000 dollars.
