SAN MARCOS, Texas – San Marcos police have arrested a suspect who was wanted on an outstanding warrant on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after receiving a tip from a citizen.
Police arrested Trine Pastrano, 49, on Friday afternoon after someone saw him dining at a restaurant in San Marcos and called in the tip.
Pastrano was sought following an assault he fled from on July 11 at the Classic Inn in the 900 block of North I-35.
The suspect was arrested without incident, according to SMPD.
A Guadalupe County court-at-law judge is accused of hitting his child with a door as he tried to gain access to a home while he was âheavily intoxicated,â according to court records.
Details that shine a light on the incident that led to a Guadalupe County Court At Law Judge William G. Squires IIIâs arrest are documented in an arrest report released on Monday.
A dispute with his wife holding their son, a locked and then unlocked door and an intoxicated Squires appear to have combined to land the judge in jail last week, according to the Hays County Law Enforcement Centerâs arrest report.

Editor,
Hays County’s criminal legal system has long had problems: from our habitually overcrowded jail that’s led to an outsourcing problem to our chronically slow court system. In 2017, Hays County had the 7th slowest district court system in Texas. A July 1, 2021, Texas Commission on Jail Standards report listed Hays third highest in detainee outsourcing. Hays County residents paid $54,000 between June 13-19 alone to send 126 detainees to other counties so that our full jail could stay in compliance with state jail standards. A full jail, slow courts, and extremist “bail reform” measures making their way through Special Session right now promise to only worsen this dire problem.
