Two men from Somerville recently appeared in Brazos County district court where they received prison sentences for felony crimes. 34 year old Anthony Vela and the district attorney’s office reach a plea agreement where Vela admitted to breaking into a home in Bryan and assaulting his ex-girlfriend. Vela’s punishment included a five year prison term and a lifetime protection order against the assault victim and two other family members. Bryan police arrest reports say Vela broke into the woman’s home twice on the same day in December 2024 and assaulted her. The first time, the victim said Vela threw her to the ground, then lifted her up by her neck and slammed her against a closet door. Vela left before officers arrived, then returned five hours later and dragged the victim by her hair and struck her multiple times in the head and stomach. The plea agreement gives Vela no right of appealing the conviction or sentence. 32 year old Hunter Davis was sentenced to a ten year prison term for trying to kick a taser away from a College Station police officer in July 2024. This is after a judge found Davis guilty of assaulting a public servant. A news release from the district attorney’s office says during Davis’s trial in July 2025, he had a violent outburst that required four bailiffs to remove him from the courtroom. And in jail before his sentencing, Davis was involved in multiple “use of force” incidents involving assaults on correctional officers. The DA’s news release also says this is Davis’s second trip to prison, following a conviction for family violence strangulation that took place in 2018. This is also second time Davis attempted to kick a taser, which happened to a security guard at Baylor Scott and White in 2022. News release from the Brazos County district attorney’s office about the disposition of the Hunter Davis criminal case: On April 16, 2026, Judge John Brick sentenced Hunter Davis, 32, to ten years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) for the Assault of a Public Servant. The sentencing followed a punishment hearing; Davis had previously been found guilty by Judge Brick during a bench trial on July 14, 2025. The Incident In July 2024, College Station Police Officers Patrick Collins and Gunnar Lingsweiler responded to a welfare check regarding a disoriented man trespassing on private property. Upon contact, Davis admitted to being dehydrated, under the influence of narcotics, and in possession of marijuana. During the encounter, Davis asked Officer Collins if he would be “thrown to the ground” if he kicked the officer’s Taser. Despite being warned that he would be restrained, Davis proceeded to kick at the device. Officer Collins successfully blocked the strike with his elbow and secured the defendant without further incident. Criminal History and Pattern of Violence The defendant has a documented history of violent behavior and non-compliance with rehabilitation efforts: Prior Convictions: Davis was previously convicted of Assault Family Violence (Strangulation). SAFPF Termination: In 2019, while ordered to the Substance Abuse Felony Punishment Facility (SAFPF), Davis assaulted another inmate and several guards. This led to an unsuccessful discharge and a three-year sentence in TDCJ. 2022 Assault: Davis assaulted Baylor Scott & White security guard Eddie Barrera by kicking him in the chest after attempting to grab Barrera’s Taser. Courtroom Misconduct: During his July 2025 bench trial, Davis had a violent outburst during the prosecution’s closing arguments, requiring four bailiffs to remove him from the courtroom. In-Custody Incidents: While in jail awaiting sentencing, Davis was involved in multiple “use of force” incidents involving assaults on correctional officers. The Hearing During the punishment hearing, Judge Brick heard testimony from Eddie Barrera, Diana Hernandez, Mike Watson, and Nathan Ziebell. The defendant also testified on his own behalf. The State of Texas was represented by Assistant District Attorney Jordan Jordan. Following the testimony, Judge Brick handed down the ten-year sentence. Statement from assistant Brazos County district attorney Jordan Jordan: “The defendant has exhibited repeated violence toward police officers, inmates, jailers, and citizens of Brazos County. This sentence sends the message that violence against individuals whose only crime is doing their job will not be tolerated.”
A child’s report to her substitute teacher about her sister having bruises on her bottom and her right hand led to their stepfather’s arrest for spanking the child with a belt. Arrest reports from College Station police say 40 year old Marquis Thurmon was charged with injury to a child with the intent to cause bodily injury and witness tampering by trying to get one of the sisters to lie about how the injuries took place. Thurman told officers he used his hand to pop his stepdaughter twice. Online records also show Thurman is held in jail on an unidentified parole violation. Bonds on the new charges totals $50,000 dollars. Texas A&M’s first civil discourse symposium for students at Rudder Auditorium included one arrest. The arrest report from university police says during the appearance of former vice president Mike Pence, during a round of applause an officer heard an audience member yell a profanity that resulted in other audience members turning their heads. The officer told the 25 year old man that further activities that could disrupt the gathering would result in him being kicked out. Seven minutes later, the officer observed the man raise his middle finger, which resulted in audience members looking uncomfortable. That led the officer to escort the man out of the auditorium. At the doorway leading out of the auditorium, the man again directed a profanity at Pence. That resulted in the officer pushing the man through the doorway and being arrested for disrupting the meeting. Kade Brockhausen of College Station is out of jail after posting a $3,000 dollar bond.
