HIGHWAY 332 WATER LINE RELOCATION COMPLETE
Contractors completed the final connection from the new pipeline to businesses along Highway 332 in Clute on Thursday, completing the replacement project, City Manager Kyle McCain said.
The connections are working, and contractors are cleaning up their work site and hauling off materials, he said.
Clute decided to move the pipeline to make room for the Highway 332 expansion, scheduled to begin later this year.
E-WASTE EVENT A SUCCESS
Residents brought out so many cubic pounds of e-waste last weekend officials have yet to tabulate exactly how much was collected, Keep Angleton Beautiful Executive Director Jamae Bowman said.
Officials believe they received between 90,000 and 110,000 cubic pounds of unwanted electronics in the cleanup, significantly more than the expected 15,000 cubic pounds of waste, she said.
“It was an overwhelming success,” Bowman said.
Angleton, Brazoria, Clute, Freeport, Lake Jackson, Quintana, Richwood, Surfside Beach, Sweeny and West Columbia had an e-waste cleanup in conjunction with the annual Great Texas Trash-off.
BALD EAGLE HAS LEAD POISONING FROM PELLETS
The bald eagle found shot off the Brazos River last Friday does have poisoning from lead shotgun pellets, said Rebecca McKeever, director of Lone Star Wildlife Rescue in College Station.
Though the eagle does have lead poisoning, it is doing well, she said.
“She could bounce back from that quick,” McKeever said.
LEDET INDICTED IN DeJESUS KIDNAPPING
Wallace Charles Ledet IV, 25, of Pearland was indicted this week for the aggravated kidnapping of Susana DeJesus, whose body was found March 10 inside an 18-wheeler trailer at a business park near Reliant Stadium in Houston.
Nicholas-Michael Jean, 21, of Pearland was indicted March 31 for aggravated kidnapping and capital murder in the case.
Ledet was not indicted for, and has not been charged with, the slaying. Police believe Ledet dropped Jean off at the parking lot from which DeJesus was kidnapped Feb. 2, and that Ledet knew Jean planned to steal the woman’s car.
An indictment is not a finding of guilt, but a determination enough evidence exists to proceed to trial.
DeJesus was missing for five weeks before her body was found. She had been shot twice in the head, police have said.
