A juvenile was taken
into custody Thursday
at Brownwood High
School after he alleg-
edly threatened a school
administrator and kicked
school resource officer
Fred Bastardo in the knee,
police said.
Bastardo responded to
a radioed request for help
near the tennis courts and
saw a juvenile running
from the administrator,
Bastardo s report states.
The juvenile committed
the offense of terroristic
threat against the admin-
istrator and kicked Bas-
tardo as Bastardo walked
him to his patrol car, the
report alleges.
The juvenile was charged
with terroristic threat and
assault on a public servant.
In other incidents:
• A woman told police
she was scammed out of
$95 when a person claim-
ing to represent a local
loan company offered her
a loan, but required a pay-
ment of $95 up front. The
woman learned the loan
agreement was fraudulent.
• Police were dispatched
to Walmart, where they
arrested Monica Smith,

Tax receipts
grow for 3
of 4 cities
in Brown
County

Three of the four Brown
County municipalities
showed healthy growth in
their monthly sales tax al-
locations for May, with only
Blanket showing a negative
number when compared to
May 2013.
May allocations are a reflec-
tion of March sales.
Brownwood s allocation of
$637,719 reflected a 6.2 per-
cent increase over last May s
$600,679.
Keep in mind that this
reflects not just March col-
lections, but also those from
the first quarter for those
merchants that report on a
quarterly basis, Brownwood
Finance Director Walter
Middleton said via email.

Ceremony to
honor fallen
officers
BY STEVE NASH
BROWNWOOD BULLETIN
Steve, nash @ brownwoodbu lletin.com
The public is in-
vited to the annual law
enforcement memo-
rial service at 10 a.m.
Wednesday, May 14, at
the Law Enforcement
Center.
The service is in con-
junction with National
Police Week, which is
May 11-17.
The service will
include lowering of
the flags, the playing
of Taps, and calling of
the Honor Roll, Brown-
wood Police Chief Mike
Corley said. The service
is designed to be brief,
heartfelt, and respectful.
According to informa-
tion on www.police-
week.org:
In 1962, President
John F. Kennedy signed
a proclamation which
designated May 15 as
Peace Officers Memo-
rial Day and the week in
which that date falls as
Police Week.
Tens of thousands
of law enforcement
officers from around
the world converge on
Washington, D.C. to
participate in a num-
ber of planned events
which honor those who
have paid the ultimate
sacrifice.
The memorial service
began in 1982 as a
gathering in Senate Park
of approximately 120
survivors and support-
ers of law enforcement.
Decades later, the event,
more commonly known
as National Police Week,
has grown to a series of
events which attracts
thousands of survivors
and law enforcement
officers to the nation’s
capital each year.
