Arlington, TX

The Arlington animal shelter will open late at noon today because of staff training. The shelter will remain open until 6:45 p.m. The animal shelter, at 5920 W. Pioneer Parkway, is normally open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

A 1-year-old was injured when his grandfather, who didn’t see the child in the driveway, drove his car over him on returning from the store. David Gleason was transported to Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth by helicopter ambulance, officials said. He was treated for burns received from the car’s muffler and released, said a hospital spokesperson. Police say there is no evidence of malicious intent or neglect and did not believe the grandfather, John Gleason, 78, would be charged.

School officials met with attorneys yesterday to discuss the new Storm Water Fee increase. The district believes that the city is misusing taxpayer money by having the district pay fees instead of putting the money toward education. They will ask the council once more for an exemption on Tuesday. Council members say they will not grant the AISD an exemption. This may end up in court.
