K-9 Units to Arrive to Brownsville PD this weekend.

Four K-9 guard and sniff dogs are scheduled to arrive at Brownsville International Airport from Fort Hood Texas as a new addition to the ever growing Brownsville Narcotic Police Unit.  Fort Hood officials are lending the valuable canine to the city of Brownsville in an effort to help reduce the illegal entry and transportation of Heroine and Crack that has been afflicting the Valley in the past year. The canine units are expected to arrive next week and are going to be stationed in Los Tomates and Anzalduas Bridge.  Fort Hood officials stated that the animals in question have been in training with the USA Army First Infantry Unit 456 since the beginning of 2007 and all of the canine agents have been stationed in Iran and Ira k.  They are also trained in the detection of weapons of mass destruction and explosive artifacts.










The canines in question are 2 pugs that are twelve years old and are considered veterans in the world of sniffing and detecting illegal substances, their names are sammo and nene cross. They enjoy long walks on the, park and the occasional ice cream slurping.  The other two canine agents that are going to be joining them are a chihuahua Winchester mix, ten year old "benito" that although has one glass eye and has to use a set of wheels because his hinds legs were blown up during a secret combat mission in Honolulu last year, he has sired a little of twelve narcotics canine agents that give out their services in El Paso, Texas and Nuevo Laredo. The last member of this elite team is "Baxter" a docile 5 year chihuahua and rookie of the group that is known for his sweet temper but uncanny sniffing abilities being able to sniff a cargo of 200 pounds of meth near University drive in his home town of Eileen.






This elite canine unit may be the laughing stock of the neighborhood because of their size and breed but Fort Hood soldiers and DEA and Border Patrol Agents swear that the size and breed of these dogs is what gives the leverage and ability to fool the drug and weapons dealers that each day cross the border without the  of being stopped or sniffed by these unlikely K-9 agents that are going to be the new sensation in our local borders now that they will adopt the rio grande valley as their new home.

Crystal Meth Lab Discovered in UTBR Student Union .






An anonymous tip received yesterday at UTBR security campus alerted school officials and local Brownsville Police Department to the location of a state of the art crystal meth lab that supposedly has yielded over 23 pounds of the blue narcotic to local and international dealers in the lower rio grande.
TSTC union college has stated to the Brownsville-monitor that although they have recently acquired the building in a well known  publicized public battle with the University of Texas they are not be held liable or responsible for any legal or illegal proceedings that go on in the building because technically UT still is under contract with them and is leasing the building for the rest of the year.





The Meth lab was discovered in plain view next to the coffee shop and book store and the FBI and DEA are going to be questioning thousands of students and faculty that did not reported it earlier this year.  The anonymous tip received earlier this week also offered names and details of the two ut professors and students that are in charge of the lab.

BPD informed to the Brownsville Monitor that the suspects are under surveillance and that as soon as they can gather evidence they will let the public know about the utbr meth operation.  UT representatives were scheduled to arrive to this town in the next few days to reach an agreement with the DEA and clarify that the actual chemistry lab was part of a school project and not a "meth" lab that was supplying with the residents of this area with narcotics. They will testify and try and offer evidence that the lab indeed is conducting research and trying to duplicate a successful meth derived antidote that will help crack and meth addicts in the area to successfully kick the habit and be able to rehab successfully.


The student union and adjacent coffee shop and book store were immediately closed to the public and students and DEA and FBI officials and cleanup crews went to work trying to decontaminate the whole area and adjacent neighborhoods for fear of contamination from the polymath acetone that might have been leaking into the atmosphere in the past few months.  Students and Faculty are welcomed to pass by the UTBR student union  express medical labs tents to test for any exposure to meth and inquire more information about the risks and health benefits of exposure to meth.  The Student government club is hosting a fundraiser on the risks of this meth lab exposure Halloween night from 5:30 till 6:30 in the old Gorgas Hall.
