Bryan Police Arrests One Driver For Evading Following A Crash, Another Driver For Reckless Driving In A Semi, And Someone In Municipal Court For Drug Possession

Bryan police report the driver of a car that struck a power pole on the city’s west side was admitted to a hospital where he was charged with evading arrest. The BPD arrest report says Monday (January 6) around 4 a.m., officers found a “significant amount of blood” inside the car and a wallet containing a drivers license outside the car. Six miles away from the crash, officers found the man near his home. The evading charge accuses 25 year old Senovio Gonzales of Bryan of trying to walk away from officers five times. Gonzales was admitted to the hospital with a ruptured spleen and broken ribs. His jail booking was done in the hospital where he was given a personal recognizance bond. The crash, on West Villa Maria near Jones Road, damaged a BTU pole that resulted in a power outage. Bryan police respond to a report of a semi with no license plates running multiple red lights on Wellborn Road Sunday night (January 5). Then an officer sees a SUV taking evasive action to avoid hitting the semi. That leads to the arrest of a man who told the officer according to the arrest report he bought the semi in Longview and was on his way to his home in Mexico. 34 year old Juan Avila-Barragan was taken to jail on charges of reckless driving, not having a license, and not having insurance. Barragan is out of jail after posting cash bonds totaling $3,600 dollars. A Bryan woman’s fifth trip to the Brazos County jail in the last six months came after walking through the metal detector at Bryan municipal court. The arrest report written by a deputy city marshal says last Friday (January 3) he believed the woman was under the influence. A search of her purse led to finding a piece of crack cocaine and a crack pipe. The arrest report does not say why 24 year old Robby White was in court. Online jail records say White was arrested in December 2024 and September 2024 for possession of a controlled substance. She was arrested in August 2024 for misdemeanor theft and in July 2024 on warrants for drug possession and misdemeanor theft. White is out of jail after posting a $5,000 dollar bond on the newest drug possession charge and personal recognizance bonds on charges of public intoxication and possessing two items of drug paraphernalia.
