UTB Staff Members caught performing sexual acts at Arts Center















Juana Martinez and Nicolas Espinoza staff members from UT were arrested earlier this morning near the Arts Center Building when students complained that a couple was performing oral sex in a parked car.  BPD  was immediately called to the area where they were able to identify the car and make the arrest.


The two staff members were taken into custody stating that they were just talking, but the man had his pants down to his knees and Miss Martinez was not wearing a bra and her blouse was open.  The University  had released a statement warning students and faculty to not engage in sexual or lewd acts in public in or around campus.  Security for the University stated that in the past two months twelve couples have been detained and arraigned with lewd charges when they discovered performing sexual acts near the Arts Center and Set B building.

Surveillance video showed that the faculty members had in fact been videotaped for at least two weeks engaging in sexual behavior near the same spot within the same vehicle.  Investigators are planning to use the footage at court day to prove at court that the couple has in fact received warnings in the past.

The University posted on their website that the faculty members were placed on paid suspension following an internal investigation that will decide if they will be able to return to work at the college.

Mayor Tony Martinez to lease plots of land in Cameron Park to the University of Texas at Brownsville














Mayor Tony Martinez confirmed this week that he intended to lease and sell plots of land located in the Cameron Park subdivision to the University of Texas at Brownsville to start building as soon as possible several dorms and the new art center starting summer 2014.

The University has been surveying several buildings and plots of land all over Brownsville since the decision was made earlier this year that the University was parting ways with TSTC.  Juliet Garcia had shown interest in leasing several decrepit buildings in the historical section of Downtown Brownsville but now is official that the University will lease and purchase several plots located at Cameron Park to immediately begin construction of several dorms and apartments for future students and a new engineering center for the University.




Mayor Martinez explained to the Brownsville Herald that the plots of land are indeed private homes that are in the process of being foreclosed by the banks.  Cameron Park residents are encouraged to log on to the Cameron County Website where they will be notified if their plot or home will be leased or purchased by the University. Residents will have six months to make arrangements with their banks or mortgage company before the University starts building and acquiring the lots.

Flea Market 77 closed due to Veterinarians selling Ferrets as Poodles.





Dozens of people have been scammed in South America into buying toy poodles that are actually ferrets injected with steroids and are being overfeed, but now several residents in Cameron  have come forward and have admitted that they too were duped into buying the furry rats after vendors at the flea market  777 told them that they were actually toy poodles puppies while also showing off paperwork claiming that the dogs were registered and legit.


Authorities have decided to close down the flea market this week a midst investigations that blame the actual owners of the flea market as the ones responsible for not double checking with the veterinarians from abilene that set shop in their grounds and sold over 55 ferrets to unknowing customers that payed over 450 dollars for the fake poodles over a period of five weeks.


 BPD is questioning the owners of the flea market to release the names and id's of the veterinarians as wells as their addresses and is hoping to obtain information about the vendors from the dozens of buyers that upon seeing in the news a similar story that happened over the weekend in Argentina decided to call the authorities and alert them that they were also victims of the scam and that they want their money back or at least  obtain the dogs  they were promised.

First Grader Transgender student Sues BISD.







BISD is under attack by concerned parents of a seven year old that was told that he could not use the girls restroom at a local elementary school near parades road.  Parents of the boy that goes by the name of Sofia have gone public because they want BISD to change its policies regarding diverse gender students in the county and because they feel there is no need for their seven year old son that identifies with being a female, using girls clothing and acting like one, also using the girls restroom   The Assistant Principal at such location declined to comment but did confirm that concerned parents came to his office and demanded for the boy to use the restroom located in the teachers lounge or the boys restroom because their children did not understand how come a boy was wearing girls clothing and using their an all girls restroom.

BISD officials have denied any problem but they did listened to the concerned parents and have asked the parents of "Sofia" to show proper medical documentation that will prove he is a transgender and are willing to offer therapy to the boy and assign him his own restroom facility.


The parents of "Sofia" have decided to take this matter to court and sue the school district because they feel their child does not need therapy or to go under gross medical examinations to prove to the school district that he is in fact transgender and because they feel the parents of his child classmates are bullying him and harassing him since his own teacher was the one that ratted him in front of the whole classroom instead of taking him to the principal office and tried to explain in private why he could not use the girls restroom.

Heroine and Human Remains stashed at Old Brownsville Cemetary

















$500,000 dollars worth of Heroine and a decomposing body were found stashed in an abandoned crypt in Brownsville's own old Cemetery   The grim remainders of what it seems to be a young female clutching bundles of heroine were discovered by two residents of this town that were cleaning up the crypt after receiving complaints that an awful stench was emanating from the broken glass window.

The family that is in charge of taking care of the crypt had informed Brownsville PD that they have noticed young people breaking in the crypt and engaging in sexual activities and getting high in the interior of the small crypt, they had grown tired of always buying new windows and locks to keep off the premises the unwanted vandals but it had not been successful.

Brownsville PD and local ICE agents have confiscated the Heroine and are investigating and interviewing neighbors that live near the alleys and streets of the cemetery   There is a $25,000 dollars reward for anyone that can come foward and help out in the investigation as to the identity of the young girl that was wearing skinny black jeans with an ed hardy white shirt and black converse tennis shows, she had ample tattoos on her hands and torso.

Visibly clutched in her hands were two bundles of black tar and when investigators removed the body they noticed several more bundles buried and some fresh dirt removed leading them to believe that the persons involved in the murder went back several days ago to retrieve the murder weapon or drugs.
