The Attorney General announced that the 2,000th arrest has been made by the Cyber Crimes and Fugitive units that Abbott made in 2003.

According to the Austin American-Statesman, Kirk Brandon Muller was the 2,000th man arrested.The Statesman reports that Muller, who was “convicted in 1993 for indecency with four children, was arrested for being in contact with a young girl, a violation of his parole, Abbott said.”

These divisions are part of Abbott’s plan for hyper-vigilance of sex offenders. He says this population is the most likely to repeat their crime, so he wants to stay on top of them.

According to San Marcos Local News, “Hays County Sheriff Tommy Ratliff said Tuesday morning that he will again ask the Texas Rangers to investigate the June 22 incident in which deputies have been accused of brutality during the arrest of an 80-year-old Woodcreek man and his son.”

Both Robert Threadgill and his son, Stephen, have filed complaints against the Sheriffs Office.

On June 22, deputies received a call from an employee at the Lodge at Cypress Falls. He claimed Robert Threadgill refused to stop throwing debris at the condo’s dam, which makes up their swimming area, and began yelling and cursing at him upon the employee’s pleas for him to stop. Threadgill’s condo is adjacent to the Lodge. He reports that the Lodge continually throws trash in his portion of the creek, so he was returning the favor.

According to San Marcos Local News, “The Threadgills and a witness, Doyle Odom, said deputies used excessive and unwarranted force during the arrest. Wimberley EMS Director Ken Strange said Robert Threadgill suffered a ‘badly sprained leg’ and that Stephen Threadgill was diagnosed with a concussion.” Robert Threadgill also says that he and his son sustained more injuries in an inhuman transport by a police cruiser.

The father and son are charged with, “disorderly conduct by profane and abusive language and with resisting arrest,” according to the San Marcos Local News.

Former UT and current Cincinnati Bengal player Cedric Benson was arrested on Tuesday for an assault charge following a May incident on Austin’s Sixth Street. Benson was in a scuffle at Annie’s West Bar, where someone busted his lip open. When bar employees asked Benson to leave, he pushed one of them and yelled expletives at another.

NFL.com reports that, once outside, “Benson complained to people passing by that ‘all these white boys are ganging up on me and kicking me out.’” Bartender Bryan White responded by telling Benson that he would not take time out of his night just to kick Benson out. Benson responded by punching him in the face.

Benson’s story, released by his attorney, is different. He says that he thought the bartender was a friend of the person who hit him in the face, and that he punched him in self defense.
