A man was arrested after a Fayette County Sheriff's Office K-9 found $2.7 million worth of methamphetamines hidden inside the gas tank of a vehicle. A sergeant, along with K-9 Lobos, stopped a vehicle on Interstate 10 for a traffic violation. As the sergeant began to question the driver and his wife, he noticed conflicting details in each of their stories about where they were going.

San Angelo LIVE!
A suspect got away from San Angelo police after the suspect fled police in a black 2014 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck. Police were attempting to stop the man, identified later as Justin A. Lee, 36, because of a report of "suspicious activity" in the Lakeshore Village Neighborhood. The chase ended somewhere along CR 138 when Lee lost control of the truck and crashed into a barrow ditch on the side of the roadway. The crash ignited a small grass fire, police said, and then the truck caught fire too, right after deputies apprehended Lee.

But a new bill modeled after a federal hate crime statute would make it a crime to intentionally target a law enforcement officer based on his "actual or perceived status" as one.
