All schools in our area are back in session! Precinct 8 deputies participated in several back-to-school events this August. Deputies attended the Precinct2gether Back to School Bash, H-E-B Kids Fun Day, BakerRipley Pasadena Campus Health Fair Day and The Grand Hampton at Clear Lake Apartments school supplies giveaway. Deputies had a great time at all these fun events handing out school supplies and providing back to school safety tips! We want to remind parents that teaching your children how to stay safe before, during and after school is crucial. Parents should make sure their children know their phone number, address and how to get in touch with them or another trusted adult in case of an emergency. Traffic safety is also key to keeping children safe. Motorists are reminded there are heavy fines for going over the speed limit and for texting and using handheld devices while driving through a school zone. State law mandates that drivers come to a complete stop when approaching a school bus that is stopped to pick up or drop off students. Children walking or riding their bikes should only cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks. We hope everyone has a safe and successful school year!

On Monday, August 7th, 2023 at approximately 9:57 AM, Precinct 8 Deputy Brinkley with Constable Phil Sandlin’s Office was dispatched to a disturbance at the CVS located in the 900 block of Bay Area Blvd. The reporting witness stated there was a male inside the store screaming, throwing merchandise and eating food without paying for it. The subject was told to leave several times and refused to. Deputies arrived on scene and identified the subject as 24 year old Anthony Joseph Carignan.
