Brazos County’s District Attorney Visits After A Bryan Man Is Convicted And Sentenced For Shooting And Wounding A Bryan Policeman

A Brazos County district court jury takes seven minutes to find a Bryan man guilty of shooting and wounding a Bryan policeman in December 2022. Then the jury takes less than one hour to reach punishment of life in prison. 46 year old Joshua Herrin was convicted of aggravated assault against a public servant, when he fired at the officer while running away from a traffic stop in the area of Wayside Drive and Avondale Avenue. The officer did not return fire. Herrin drove away in the officer’s patrol vehicle then abandoned it. The following day, Herrin shot and wounded a Brazos County sheriff’s deputy in the Benchley area. Herrin, who was captured following a standoff, faces a trial in Robertson County related to that incident. That trial will be prosecuted by the Brazos County district attorney’s office. Herrin remains in the Brazos County jail as of November 5th in lieu of bonds totaling $5.7 million dollars.

Business at Thursday’s Texas A&M system board of regents meeting (November 7) includes moving ahead with the flagship campus eliminating 52 low enrollment minor degree and certificate programs. In October, A&M’s chief academic officer was criticized by the faculty senate for not including members before making his decision. After that, A&M’s president called for restarting the process, using the faculty senate, to determine the fate of 14 minors and 38 certificate programs. The regents agenda includes a resolution to move ahead with the provost’s decision, which was made following input from deans, department heads, and other faculty. The resolution also calls on presidents at other system universities to “promptly initiate a review of minors and certificate programs to identify any low-producing programs that may require elimination.” Attached to the resolution, are 11 pages of low producing minor degree and certificate programs at the flagship that are recommended to remain, become inactive, or be eliminated. The resolution will be considered following a meeting of the regents academic affairs committee. The committee’s agenda includes discussing the proposed resolution and receiving a presentation about low producing minors and certificate programs.
