Former Texas A&M Men’s Basketball Player Julius Marble Arrested For Sexual Assault

An expected starter on last year’s Texas A&M men’s basketball team who was dismissed before the season started has been arrested. 23 year old Julius Marble of Cedar Hill (TX) is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in his apartment last October 14th, which was about three weeks before the Aggies first game. The arrest report from College Station police says the victim told Marble “no” to several unwelcomed advances. She also attempted to push Marble away. After the assault, the victim called a friend who took her to a local hospital. The arrest report also says Marble sent a direct message on Instagram the following morning, telling the victim that he did not recall what had happened but he hoped that he did not do anything to upset her. Marble was booked in the Brazos County jail April 18th and is held in lieu of a $50,000 dollar bond.

College Station ISD School Board’s Review Of Its School Advisory Health Council Focuses On Student’s Use Of Cell Phones

The College Station ISD school board’s annual review of its School Advisory Health Council (SHAC) focused on student’s use of cell phones. CSISD athletic director Kevin Starnes, who is the administration’s representative on the SHAC, said the council wanted the district to “continue to look at and evaluate cell phone policies to limit distractions/off-task behavior during instructional times”. Starnes said the SHAC made two other recommendations. One was “For CSISD, recommend to have a plan to ensure safety of students arriving/leaving school on bikes”. The other was “that CSISD develop, distribute in the employee handbook, and enforce a policy to limit the screening of paid video advertising presented by any faculty, staff, or substitute member of the district CSISD during school hours or in the classroom.” The conversation also included superintendent Tim Harkrider and several school board members.
