23 year old has been arrested 8 times for stalking college girls
SUMMARY: A 23-year-old man, Ian Smith, who served time for threatening Southern Methodist University (SMU) students, was arrested for harassment after reportedly contacting a female student via social media. Despite being warned by an SMU detective to stop, he allegedly continued his attempts for two days. Smith has a history of similar offenses over the past three years, including stalking and online impersonation. After completing his prison term earlier this year, he was accused of harassing another student while on bond. Police are carefully gathering evidence due to First Amendment protections regarding online contacts, and Smith is prohibited from campus access.
Police said the 23-year-old man has targeted several female students since 2021 and has been arrested 8 times. He was released earlier this year but police say he’s back at it.

Manor High School deadly stabbing leads to school safety concerns | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: A deadly stabbing has reignited concerns about school safety in Texas, despite a federal report indicating a decrease in violent incidents over the past decade. Security expert Randy Sutton emphasizes that schools are often reactive and need to adopt proactive measures. Following the Uvalde shooting, Texas mandates armed security officers on campuses, and some districts are implementing metal detectors. The recent report shows nearly 860,000 violent cases recorded nationwide, with fewer involving weapons. In September 2023, Texas’s I Watch program reported 204 safety-related incidents, more than double previous years, highlighting the ongoing safety challenges in schools.
This deadly stabbing is raising questions again about school safety. A federal report shows that violent acts are down when compared to a decade ago. But a security expert said he is worried some schools may be letting down their guard.
