In San Antonio, FBI agents have arrested 32-year-old Jason Lynn Hathorn and 30-year-old David Lee Sartin for their alleged role in a bank robbery earlier this month, announced United States Attorney Richard L. Durbin, Jr.; Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Special Agent in Charge Christopher Combs, San Antonio Division; and, San Antonio Police Chief William McManus.
A criminal complaint unsealed in San Antonio charged Hathorn and Sartin with one count of bank robbery. According to the complaint, on August 8, 2016, a confidential human source identified Sartin as a suspect in four bank robberies in the San Antonio area. During each robbery, the perpetrator used a unique silicone “old man” mask which the source claimed was similar to one owned by Sartin. Later that day, an individual wearing the “old man” mask robbed the Amegy Bank of Texas branch on West Military Drive. The individual left the bank with approximately $8,100 and a surreptitiously placed GPS tracking device.
HOUSTON (AP) -- A federal appeals court is allowing a trade group representing Texas liquor store operators to join a stalled federal lawsuit that Wal-Mart has filed against the Texas agency that dispenses permits to sell liquor by the bottle.
The giant retailer wants to get into the business of selling liquor in Texas, but contends restrictions on package liquor licenses, some dating to the end of Prohibition, handed out by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission amount to unconstitutional discrimination.
A trial set for next month in Austin got sidetracked when the judge refused to allow the Texas Package Stores Association, representing about 2,500 existing liquor store retailers, to get involved in the case.
Last week, a federal appeals court OK'd the trade group's presence, saying the outcome could affect its members.
The liquor industry in Texas generated nearly $14 billion in sales in 2014.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The Texas attorney general has filed suit against Austin, accusing the state capital of violating "open carry" rules by banning guns inside city hall.
