Departing Blues defender Christophe Berra has been named in the Scotland squad for their World Cup qualifier against England at Hampden Park on Saturday 10th June.
Last October, Keith Lane left Haltom City, where he had served 15 years as police chief, public safety director and city manager, to enter the unknown in New Braunfels.
Serving as New Braunfels interim police chief would give him the leg up on the competition seeking the permanent job â which turned out to be the right move.
Lane, 56, was among 62 applicants, eight semifinalists and four finalists hoping to become the cityâs next top cop. Months before he was selected and sworn into office, he already had begun putting his stamp on city police operations.
âItâs been crazy â Iâd like to describe it like drinking water through a fire hose,â Lane said about the last few months. âBut itâs been great. This is an exceptional police department full of exceptional individuals doing a great job. Theyâve been incredibly supportive.â
On three occasions, Lapatin said, Martinez created advertisements seeking cleaning services and then brought women to his home where they expected to perform cleaning work.
On Monday, Lapatin said, Martinez brought a woman to his apartment at 552 Union St. and sexually assaulted her.
Prior to that sexual assault, detectives were on Martinez s trail but they hadn t gathered enough evidence to arrest him, Lapatin said.
Previously, he said, detectives had been pursuing Martinez in one case.
Martinez faces two counts of first-degree sexual assault and one count of second-degree sexual assault.
He was arraigned Tuesday in District Court, Providence, and was back at the Adult Correctional Institutions in Cranston, Lapatin said.
Comal County Commissioners will consider approving more construction project change orders and an agreement to board offenders from another county during their weekly meeting on Thursday.
Sheriff Mark Reynolds reiterated what heâs long said about Comal County support for justice operations, which county commissioners recognized in proclamations again on Thursday.
Commissioners designated May 9-15 as National Police Week and Saturday as National Peace Officers Memorial Day in the county in a proclamation calling âupon all residents to honor those peace officers who, through their courageous deeds, have lost their lives or have become disabled in the performance of duty.â
Reynolds and CCSO staffers and deputies joined constables in accepting the proclamation.
âCounty residents show their appreciation almost every day,â Reynolds said. âI canât tell you how many times weâre thanked while weâre out working and even at lunch, when the bill comes and you find out someone has taken care of it.Â
