A woman on Water Street told police her grandson has been staying with her for the past month. She said she allowed him to stay with her temporarily, but was ready for him to move elsewhere. She said he is not on the lease and does not contribute to the household. Police spoke with the grandson, who said his grandma had allowed him to stay with her, but due to recent arguments, she wanted him to move out. While on scene police discovered the grandson was previously trespassed from all Housing Authority property, including this address. Police informed him that he was trespassed, to which he claimed he did not know. Due to not being an established resident at the address, as well as being previously trespassed, police told him he needed to gather all his belongings, leave the area, and not return, which he did without further incident.

Police met with two Hispanic males via a consensual encounter at Western Wear located at 6960 Lee Hwy. after a report of suspicious activity was made. They identified themselves. The first man said they work for his father for "Marco's Boots," out of Mexico. He said that the boots are shipped across the border where he picks up the supply and begins "Googling" boot stores within the U.S. to travel to and attempt to sell his supply. They have been there since before the boot store opened that morning and they will be leaving soon. During this encounter, the second man was rummaging through boxes throughout the back of their box truck (TX tag).
