Man describes rescuing woman from San Jacinto River | One man didn't survive
SUMMARY: A drowning occurred in the San Jacinto River at a known danger spot in Crosby, where a man’s body was recovered after he tried rescuing two women struggling in the water. James Edwards, who successfully saved one woman, described the chaotic scene as he witnessed her needing help amid others attempting to throw life jackets. Despite his efforts, another man drowned during the rescue attempt. Harris County officials warned that the river’s calm appearance can be deceptive and urged swimmers to exercise caution and wear life jackets.

Ex-Pct. 2 deputy claims ousted captain tried to cover up training accident
SUMMARY: Former Bear County Precinct 2 Captain Mark Garcia is fighting for reinstatement amid allegations of misconduct during his tenure. Testimony from ex-deputy Gabriel Morad accused Garcia of attempting to cover up a training incident where bullet fragments ended up in Morad’s forehead, and he allegedly instructed deputies to shred paperwork in 2019. Garcia’s attorney denies these claims, asserting that Garcia served honorably. Garcia, indicted alongside former Constable Michelle Baranta, received immunity in exchange for testifying against her in a criminal case; Baranta is appealing her felony tampering convictions. The Civil Service Commission will decide Garcia’s fate.
A former reserve deputy with the Bexar County Precinct 2 Constable’s Office testified Monday that ex-captain Marc Garcia took steps to cover up a training accident and later ordered the deputy and other members of the agency to destroy records.
