After several incidents in Maverick County involving swarms of bees which have killed two men in the past two years and injured others, a call was made to the Eagle Pass Fire Department in reference to a resident on Wedgefield Drive in the Royal Ridge Subdivision who feared leaving his home due to a large amount of bees visible.
When fire trucks and rescue personnel arrived, members of the pest-control squad from Border Pest Control were already there to advise that they had the situation under control and would not require any extra support.

CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. (AP) — After more than six weeks in limbo, NASCAR star Tony Stewart finally got the news he had been hoping for.
A grand jury that heard testimony from more than two dozen witnesses, including accident reconstruction experts and drivers, and looked at photographs and video decided against bringing criminal charges against Stewart for the death of 20-year-old sprint car driver Kevin Ward Jr. during an Aug. 9 race.
That doesn't mean it's over.
A few hours after Ontario County District Attorney Michael Tantillo announced the grand jury's decision in this upstate New York hamlet, the Ward family indicated in a statement read over the telephone by sister Kayla Herring that they will seek civil damages in the young driver's death.
