In March, Keyes was arrested at the parking lot of a Cotton Patch Cafe in Lufkin a

Attention East Texas: Be on the lookout for nearly $4,000 worth of taxidermied animals that were stolen from a Lufkin building under construction in the 1900 block of Denman Avenue.

When I was growing up, keeping it "in the family" meant having dinner together, going on outings together, going to sis's Girl Scout's ceremony, and her, to my opening day of Little League. Obviously, 50 year old Ronald Catt, had a much different upbringing when it came to the theory of relativity.  And no, I'm not talking about Einstein's mathematical equation regarding gravitational ph

Like father, like...daughter!  Doesn't it go, "like father, like son", and "like mother, like daughter"? Well, something is definitely backwards in the Bon Jovi arena.  About one hour ago, it was reported that daddy's little girl was arrested at Hamilton College in New York, for possession of a controlled substance, after police found heroin inside a school dorm.

A Texas woman was scammed out of $200 after a man approached her at a gas station and asked if she wanted to buy “an iPad worth $800 for $200.” Apple hasn’t even shipped the highest-priced iPads yet, with retail pri

Anytime crime statistics are published, I'm always eager to see the ratio of solved crimes by category.  For example, the number of Robbery cases solved in 2012 compared to the total number of Robberies committed.

It wasn’t long ago that actress Daryl Hannah was arrested during a pipeline protest in East Texas, and now Green Party Presidential Candidate, Dr. Jill Stein, has been arrested at a similar event.

Here's a new one on me.  Theft of political signage.  That's right, instead of making the vote count on the ballot, signs are reportedly being stolen from Lufkin neighborhoods.

The Houston police department is trying to answer questions today about the fatal shooting of a double amputee, who was felled by an officer's bullets as he sat in his wheelchair, while waving a pen in a threatening manner towards law enforcement personnel.

44-year old Gregory Baker used to live in Lufkin and is trying to bring his family back to East Texas. KTRE says he was stabbed during a run-in with a thief on Monday in Missouri.

When you barrel down the highway in excess of the speed limit, and you accomplish this monumental feat in "Smalltown USA", you could be in for a showdown at the OK Corral. I'm speaking from experience here, because the only moving violation I received, happened nearly 20 years ago, in a tiny hamlet called  Paradise Valley, Arizona.
