SUMMARY: Three suspects—a man and a woman—were arrested after attempting a daylight jewelry heist at Daniel’s Jeweler in First Colony Mall, Sugarland. Around 1:30 PM, the trio used hammers to smash display cases and steal various jewelry items. They fled the scene but were quickly pursued by Sugarland police, who apprehended them near Houston Methodist Hospital. All three are now in custody, facing charges of robbery and evading arrest. Witnesses praised the swift police response during the chaotic incident, which left shoppers shaken but relieved that the situation was handled effectively.

Multiple people are in custody after a robbery at a mall in Sugar Land and a brief police chase.
The incident was first reported by witnesses at the scene just after 1:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon. Sugar Land officials say three men orchestrated a smash-and-grab heist at a jewelry store at First Colony Mall.
A source from Sugar Land Police Department said the three burglars used a hammer to shatter two glass display cases at the store and steal jewelry.
After securing the stolen goods, they ran from the store and hopped in a red Ford sedan that didn’t have license plates. Police had a detailed description of the vehicle, so they were able to quickly catch up to the car on the US-59 feeder road in front of the Houston Methodist hospital.

SUMMARY: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has issued multiple directives to prepare for the upcoming legislative session focusing on threats from China. One executive order aims to protect Texans of Chinese descent from CCP operatives, while another orders state agencies to prepare for potential attacks on critical infrastructure. Abbott emphasized the need for divestment from Chinese investments due to financial risks associated with CCP aggression. He called for immediate evaluation and divestment of state funds in China, fostering collaboration with other governors to encourage investment alternatives.

SUMMARY: A Supreme Court ruling from 1978, known as the Monell Doctrine, protects municipalities like Dallas from financial liability for employees’ unlawful actions, even in severe cases such as the killing of Botham Jean by former police officer Amber Guyger. The jury awarded Jean’s family $98.6 million—$38.6 million in compensatory damages and $60 million in punitive damages—while the city was granted immunity in the lawsuit, despite its role in hiring and training Guyger. This ruling creates high barriers for families pursuing claims against municipalities while highlighting disparities in accountability for wrongful actions by police officers.

The family’s attorney said the city should share in liability with Amber Guyger for hiring her and training her. However, the city filed a motion to be removed from the lawsuit, and it was granted. A Dallas appellate attorney explains why.
